UKNM: RE: UKNM: .uk domains now �5 for two ye ars!

[Bunder, Leslie]

what sites have you been looking at???



Remember it is important to compare Apples with Apples, Pears with Pears

etc...


Some of the �100 deals include things like e-mail and Web forwarding for

life, others who may charge �20 or less may charge extra for e-mail

forwarding and Web forwarding or offer it free for say just one year and

then you pay �30 a year thereafter!


It really is down to what you want with the domain name and how you plan to

use it.  But it is very important to check the small print and understand

fully what you are getting.  I saw one site that offered cheap domain names

but if you moved the name from them to someone else, they would charge you

�29!


Key thing is to make sure you get a "good" deal, not just a "cheap" deal as

cheap in the short term can be very costly in the long!


Most people seem to be passing on the discount but it is just a question of

how much you want to pay for the added value services that are now being

offered.


After all, if a domain name provider charges just a �5 plus VAT, and nothing

on top for any value services, they are not going to be in business for

long!
