Need a new domain
Discussion
OK, so I'm fed up of my current domain (on BT Broadband) and want a new one. Where's the best place to get one from - there are too many offers and I can't see the wood for the trees out there.
I used to have a domain with freenetname (didn't pay after 3 years and lost it) - should I go with them again?
I await opinions/recommendatons from you learned ones out there ...

If its still registered to you you should still have control of where the domain forwards to.
Alternatvely you can wait for the domain to expire and purchase through another domain registration company www.123reg.co.uk is my prefered option.

Yes, freenetname expire accoutns after 90days of non use. Having said that, i don't know what they do with the domains as they seem very keen on getting their £93 no matter what happens.
If you fancy pointing your money towards a fellow PH'er
www.Register1.net
Free web / mail forwarding, and custom DNS should you require.
At the moment the domain is Expired AND DETAGGED.
This is better for you, as it means you just need to FAX nominet and get them to RETAG it.
Tho you might find some excess charges may apply, I have had several other clients transfer in outdated domains and had no charge other than the £7.90 renewal fee.
Email me thru my profile if you need any help.

Thanks.
So I used to have motion-lotion.co.uk on freenetname. I do a search on freeparking and it says already registered (to me!). How do I bring it online (or whatever the term). Ideally FOC

But don't we work in a 'somthing for nothing' world these days? Especially in IT where customers expect the earth and to pay less than Dell charge.

Sure, but you get what you pay for... one way.... or the other

Having said that, Tag the domain over to me, and its FOC for my part until you need to renew.
Nominet is another matter... like i said, i have had it before where they just charge the renewal fee and thats it, but technically they can charge £80~
Man can only try and see.
