Domain Register recommendations needed

Now that I’ve moved my sites over to TextDrive, I need to find a new domain registrar to complete the relocation. My old ISP was an OpenSRS reseller, and I don’t want to keep paying my old monthly fee to them simply to manage my domains.

The two I’ve heard some good things about are Joker and RegisterFly, but there are so many out there that a bit more feedback would be nice. It’ll need to handle a few .com’s and at least one .co.uk domain – I definitely need automatic updates and periodic reminder. A reliable web control panel is a must, but I’d rather not pay the earth for managing a few domains.

I use 1and1.co.uk. For .uk domains at least, they charge less than cost price to register/renew them, you get full control of the DNS and there don’t seem to be any strings. My domains all point to textdrive’s nameservers as it happens…

I use 1an1.com (the usa based version of 1and1.co.uk). Great prices, good control panel. Everything you need.

I can definetly recommend Joker, I have used them for about 5 different domains, including new and transfers.

Full control, DNS, no string etcs

Don’t do co.uk etc, mind.

Good to know about 1and1.co.uk

I like 123-reg.co.uk and have used them for all my domains apart from .coms for a couple of years (their .com/net/org prices are very high). The control panel is very 1998 but it works well.

Have your say
