Lost!
I seem to be ending up with domains all over the place, half a douzen here, a few there and tracking them is becoming a real pain (evident when i missed a renewal last month :mad: )

So, can someone reccomend a place, which has cheap renewals for .net .co.uk and .com domains with decent control panel for DNS control where i can move them all to.

Thanks.
 
Work out if you have more .uk domains or TLD's.
If it's mainly TLD's then take a serious look at a US based company as they will offer you a better price and remember the dollar is weak against sterling at the moment.
However their prices are usually not so good on .uk domains.

If it's mainly .uk domains then you could do a lot worse than 123-reg.co.uk - however their TLD prices aren't the cheapest around.
 
Heh, i love the 123-reg website, claiming to be the best price...but clearly not quite true!

Its mostly .co.uk domains, the odd .com and 1 .net to move as well to keep them all together :)
 
Sometimes they charge a big fee to transferr domains away. Probably not the case for most, but I know that easyspace charge about £50. Worth checking.

Oh they are very good for co.uk, org.uk, me.uk domains etc.
It's just their .com, .net prices aren't so good.
I use 123-reg for all of my domains because I too like to keep all of my domains in one place.
So although I know I could get cheaper, I also know that 123-reg provide free forwarding for mail & web for each of the domains.
That they don't charge to transfer domains away and they are nice and safe - worth that little extra cash, certainly to me.

As does any other half-respectable domain registrar, and there are more than enough out there.

Personally I would go with two separate registrars; one for .com/.org/.net domains (GoDaddy are a very very reputable company and do these for $8.95/year) and one for .co.uk or other obscure TLDs (UKReg do .co.uk's for £2.95/year) :)

True - however as the OP was asking for recommendations I'm hardly going to recommend somewhere I've never used :)
Over at WHT it would appear that Godaddy are not the company they once where with many people bailing out due to lost domains.
And if we're going to be picky on prices - 123-reg are doing co.uk for £2.59 per year :)

UK reg, the monkeys owned by Fasthosts whose entire network went down with a couple of poxy fibre cuts? I think not :D
