Buying a Domain Name

pallys · 7 Nov 2006 at 11:59

Hi, I want to buy a domain name, can people recommend somebody that has good DNS features (and that I own the domain name) as I'm renting a dedicated server from elsewhere but choosing not to buy the domain off them.

Thanks.

One and One are a good shout. I've had many domains off them in the past. DNS features allow you to point the domain to an IP Address and change name servers. MX Headers are a bit tricky but I got there in the end

These guys do a great job for me. And are decent company based in Devon with an EXCELLENT support department. Normally I will get quailty email replies within minutes of asking any question.

No dodgy hidden charges like the evil that is UK2.

Excellent control panel to look after things too. Well worth a look.

if you can it's well worth using somebody who is an openSRS reseller, as if they go under (not unusual in the domain name business unless you use a big name provider) then you're domain doesn't go with them and can still be mentained through any other reseller
