    Am thinking to transfer my co.uk domains to 123-reg after problems with another hopelessly unreasonable provider. Will add detail once all domains are moved.

    Have searched here and only found a 2006 thread with user opinions
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=875626

    Wondered if anyone has had any recent good-bad experience.

    the bad on that thread was mainly about response times for support.
    Personally I prefer a provider whose service works well enough I never need support, maybe that's what the silence here means?

    Thanks.

    ETA:
    OK. Found whole lotta problems elsewhere (not sure why the owner has allowed that board to be taken over by spammers, it seemed to be quite active beforehand)

    Somone on the 2006 thread suggested compila. Will maybe start a separate thread asking for suggestions.

    I have been with them for nearly 6 years and they have had there moments. When they were with Pipex the support was shocking, but over the last 2 years they have really got there act together and i am really happy with them.
    If you are looking for cheap domains with a working control panel then i would definately suggest. I think last time i looked they had a 96p .eu offer :)

    123 reg is excellent and the only registrar i used for the past 3 years. Just started usign go daddy for .coms and package deals but I have over 60 domains with them and as danny says, they were useless as pippex but they have been much better. They are also very cheap for .co.uk domains.

    I don't know about 123Reg. I've been recommended to move my domains to Bluehost, as my hosting company don't support Cpanel.
