BT - domain hosting
Discussion
Who here has (or has had) a hosted domain + email with BT connect (regardless of whether you use BT broadband or bt yahoo broadband or 56k dialup to connect)
I have been having problems for 9 months. Emails I send take 2-4 days to arrive. Emails sent to me often bounce.
Im guessing affected emails might be 5-10% which is unforgivable. They put up the "zero liability T&C" shield when asking for compensation.
But come on, 9 months
I recall hearing that BT were banned from using the words "Fast" or "reliable" in their marketing campaign, because... they wern't.

I'd be tempted to move across to Register1 who are a forum sponsor of Pistonheads.
Constantly had great service from them and i've got about a dozen different domains registered with them.

Does register1.net offer unlimited domains, or a reseller account? I basically need hosting for unlimited domains (hundreds, or certainly dozens to begin with)
I am with bt, but my cilents are scattered all over the place. So I need a reseller account with plenty of bandwidth, telephone support UK based, with no limit or incremental limits on domains.
Not looking to pay £100 per domain, thats what I charge my clients for basic hosting!

Bob...
domains aren't free to register... not even for a company like register1. therefore you're unlikely to find a company that will give you unlimited domains whilst still giving you a decent service.
You can get .co.uk domains for £4... .coms for £9... not a huge price to pay
but that doesn't include bandwidth or hosting fees
You can easily get a domain+hosting for a year for under 40 notes...

You can support unlimited domains, but if you're looking at large scale domains, I would simply advise you look into a Dedicated Server.
Drop me a mail via profile with your needs, and I will have someone call you / mail you back.
Telephone support is available thru Serverstream, Register1 is more streamlined.
Always happy to answer questions.
