Domain UKreg

Hi
Does anyone have experience of UKreg for domain registering/hosting?
Any info would be gratefully received.

I found this on their site:

How does UKReg make money?
You might be wondering how UKReg manages to make a profit when our charges are so low. , UKReg is not designed to run at a profit. We believe domain names will soon become a commodity. UKReg will be funded largely by advertising revenue on our site. If you are interested in advertising on the UKReg website please contact us.

So, I would worry. That is, I don't want ads showing up on my sites, and to have no control over them is worse yet.

Alarms are going off for me, but I am simply looking at their service, not using it.

I would think that you would be better off with someone else. I also think I could offer you what you need and be more professional about it.

Hi Tommy...

Well, I offer domain name registration, web hosting, site builders, spam filtered email accounts, SSL certificates, shopping carts, e-commerce software, merchant accounts and marketing tools at:

http://www.DomainHostmaster.com

I also offer the possibility to resell tose same services listed above through:

http://w3DN.com

I offer other budget web hosting and reseller solutions through:

http://www.HDWebHosting.com

But I started out as a web designer/developer and search engine optimizer offering advanced web hosting at:

http://www.symbioticdesign.com

Actually, I have lots more websites.

However, when I was responding to your post I was merely addressing my concerns that the facility you mentioned will be showing ads. We do not show ads on our client/customers websites, but we are not a free system, either.

I have used some free systems that don't show ads. MaxipointServers.com works well, but you pay a premium for the Domain Name and get the 20MB of hosting for free. Still, that doesn't allow for a lot of space to design a site.

But only you are going to be able to decide what is best for you. I would personally pay for premium web hosting and a Domain. But I am also interested in branding and find that important to me and my company as well as my revenue stream. If you are setting up a page for kicks, maybe you can put-up with the ads, I don't know.

Good luck, there!

there are plenty of other more reliable ones out there

Do you have any examples of a cheap uk domain registrar that is reliable. I usually use GoDaddy, but their uk prices are not that good.
