Reliable Domain name registration.

[Godfrey H]

I want to register a .com and .co.uk domain name. As well as registering the domain names I want them to be registered as "private" domains i.e. my personal details don't appear directly on the domain database to guard against ID theft and junk mail. I've scoured the internet to find out who the good guys are but I've had no luck so far. What I have found out is that there are quite a few "Cowboys" out there. I should also mention I need a registrar capable of providing me with email forwarding. Any suggestions from the Pistonheads collective will be greatfully received.

Thanks S27 I looked into Register1. As far as I can see they don't do "private" registration. I emailed their sales people to enquire some time ago but I didn't receive a reply.

Every email received is responded to, typically within 15 mins 24/7

If you let me know what email address you used / when you emailed I'll look into this.

Godfrey,

YGM btw just to make sure

I can recomend Register1, very good service, good prices and a PH'er to boot.
Just sorry that they don't do .it names (three weeks and a kings ransom for crappy service)

My mate's company is VERY competitive and really helpful.
Tunes every package for the client's specific needs...

Plus he's a bit quick on two wheels... ;-)

I did pistonheads.it for Ted... swore then, never again in that price bracket.

Sooooooooooo much paperwork / form filling..

We do them on the Serverstream brand, but the price is ~£30 a domain per year..

Jamie, it seems my ISP has mail problems. I haven't received your mail yet. I will check later in the day to see if they have fixed the problem. If not I'll send you my gmail address.

Let me know.

Jamie, Confirmed my ISP are having email problems. They may have also lost the reply from your sales team but they are not admitting anything. I have sent you my gmail address.

If somebody sent JB/Register 1 an e-mail, and doesn't get a reply in good time - the only conclusion to draw would be a problem with one's own ISP!! There's hard-earned reputation for ya.

freeparking.co.uk are also very good - they manage most of my domains for me.

Whilst were on the subject of domains, has anyone ever had any luck buying and selling them?

I have quite a few parked with Sedo at the moment, and other than the occasional click, no-one has made an offer to buy any of them (Theyre not all crap, honest)do people not realise they are for sale with Sedo of something? would I be better of building a front page listing them all for sale?


Oh and just for the record, I wouldn't recomend Easily for domain registration they don't do anything you request.

I've sold a fair few before, but not via any Agents, simply by being approached by the right people, and, occasionally, making them know to the right people.

I've had some tasty domains on sedo for years and not a bite..

I think sedo is much less about selling domains, and much more about collecting revenue from appraisals and crucially, parked traffic Ad income revenue.
