Domain name registration with 1&1.co.uk
In the first of my reviews of UK domain name registration companies posts I will be reviewing the world’s biggest web hosting and domain name registration companies, 1&1.co.uk. Started over 12 years ago and managing over 6.5m customer accounts, 1&1.co.uk is a subsidiary of United Internet who has a market capital of more than £2bn GBP. With it’s UK headquarters based in Slough, they have over 250 in house developers utilising 70,000 servers! A brilliant company to register your domain names through whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro.
The account I have with them now began in 2006 I think and since then I have had no issues at all with their systems and services. You can download their control panel to your desktop and have complete control over your domain name portfolio and web hosting. They offer good deals on a variety of auxiliary products too like e-commerce and Microsoft Exchange solutions.
The cost of their products is also competitive, passing on huge savings from their economies of scale and strategic partnerships with other brands like Microsoft and Google. Domain names start from as little as £5.99 for a .com and many of their hosting deals come with an initial free period* (this info is correct as of the date of this post.)
DO NOT USE 1&1 INTERNET!
I am retracting all positive comments about this company from this post. Please see my most recent post about 1&1 and their TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
1and1.co.uk’s strengths include:
- All inclusive hosting plans with no hidden charges
- Free domain names
- 60-day money back guarantee
- GeoTrust Dedicated SSL Certificate
- Premium Software Suite
- Easy to use Control Panel
- 99.9% Uptime
- State of the art Data Centres
I would recommend registering with 1and1.co.uk. It couldn’t be more simple. I have several hundred domain names hosted with them and find their control panel very easy to use and their customer services extremely helpful when required.
Simply visit 1&1.co.uk and follow the instructions, if you are registering a domain name with them for the first time, you can use their domain name search facility to find the names you want and register with them for the first time when you purchase. Easy!
For those of you heavily involved in the domain name industry they also offer a competitive affiliate program.
