    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone recommend the best / cheapest registrar for .co.uk domains?

    Price is obviously a factor... but control panel and renewal price also important...

    Thanks in advance!!

    Even though a lot of uk registrar are might be a dollar or two cheaper but I find it much more easier to have a .co.uk domain name with Godaddy. I have a couple at go daddy while with the registrar there were too many complications. And Godaddy prices are not bad either. You pay $19.99 for 2 yrs which is basically the time period .co.uk domains are registered and renewed for.

    Fair enough... Though I think if you went with 123-reg (the best I have found so far) you would probably save about $14 per two years...

    Daily.co.uk is a good Uk registrar.

    Decent pricing and the control panel is great :)

    I second that.

    You've also got 123-reg and Fasthosts as options.

    I haven't used daily will check them out...

    1 and 1, are pretty cheap, but have never liked their control panel, really clunky compared to 123 reg.

    Godaddy are really expensive for .co.uk domains...
