Looking at their site, you could be forgiven for thinking that 10 domains would cost only a few pence, but you have to multiply all the monthly figures they quote by 24 to get to the two years they actually charge you for and then add in the registry fees and VAT. I roughly worked out their current prices for the same 'Super 10' pack and it seems to come out to ...
...registration company. The image uk2.net projects is slightly schizophrenic. The barely literate content of their website and email newsletter suggest a bunch of hobbyists in a back bedroom, but they claim to be the largest UK host and they push services aimed more at the corporate market like dedicated servers at £25+VAT a month. This review has been fairly negative so far, but on the positive side, I am perfectly happy with uk2.net's actual services. ...

Review of uk2.net

...I signed up with UK2.net 2 days ago now (which forced me btw. to buy a domain as opposed to just letting me use one of my existing domains without actually transferring it to UK2.net - thank God I did not do that as now I would be untangling that mess too). I bought the most expensive hosting solution available, Business Plus, as on paper the offer looked fantastic, especially the root access and full control panel. And I liked their 30 day money ...
...In reality what happened is that it took them around 14 hours just to enable my account from when I signed up and paid which is astonishingly slow when every other host I have worked with enable it automatically. Then when it was enabled, I cannot get into my SSH access, I am unable to set up more sites on the server, and I don't even have FTP access to my account. So after trawling around any support docs available, I decided to get in touch with ...

UK2.net are probably the most high profile of all the domain name registration companies, currently charging under £10 to register the UK domain name of your choice.I've bought a couple of names from them and cannot fault the service. They offer free web forwarding and unlimited e-mail addresses and e-mail forwarding in the price, but beware, for this you have to put up with their pop-up banner on diversion. You'll have to pay extra to divert without ...
...that you have to pay to transfer the domain name out if you wish to use another host. They claim that this is because they are charging you next to nothing on the name, but since other companies are now offering registration for £9.99 (eg After Domains)without any restrictions, £19 to transfer seems excessive. I haven't used them to host my site, preferring to forward to my existing site, partly because they don't offer the same range of services,and ...

...transfer your domain away for uk2.net if you finally decide that a full hosting package is what you need and obviously if that were the case you'd go to somewhere cheaper than uk2. So, again if you only need domain registering and some forwarding then uk2 are cheap and provide a very good hassle free interface to maintaining that. However, if you want more services then they've got you trapped and you'll either pay a high cost for their services ...

...All this is how UK2.NET operate. You buy a domain and they state very clearly that it is registered in your name but if you do not want to use their services any more you must pay to leave. So who owns the domain then? You or them? I mean i can understand it if you are transfering a domain onto their servers and therefore using their services but NOT when you don't want their services anymore. There are only a handful of domain registrants that will ...
...BUT the big difference here is that they offer you free hosting and some even offer you cgi, php and would you believe it support. Nonetheless though these companies are all out there to keep you buying their other services. If you want to find out about domain registration then goto www.bigbytes.co.uk ...I only wish I did earlier. ...

Review of uk2.net

This is a fairly high profile web hosting and domain name registration service. They are good in that break down the costs into monthly or weekly costs for the period that you register your domain name for. The multiple domain name registration function is very good compared to some. However, if you want hosting for a personal website, go elsewhere. It is very expensive for a small sites and offers services more suited to businesses. The domain ...
...to pay for everything else like multiple email addresses, hosting, cgi scripts etc. If you want to move your domain name to be hosted by another server, you have to pay about £20. The help staff are not very helpful, and very busy. In my opinion, register your domain name with UK2.net, but forward visitors to somewhere where you can host for free. Oh, and you get a nice printable certificate. ...

Nightmarishly bad. I started using them because they were cheap, and I got exactly the service I paid for, ie dreadful. They charge extra for catch-all email forwarding which most domain suppliers offer for nothing. They let a domain of mine lapse without any warning or apology. I had seven domains with them and email forwarding worked on NONE of them even when tech support assured me the issue had been fixed. If you want to move a domain away (and ...

The transfer process is dotted with misleading and alarmist messages. When you come to the end of the process they tell you you have to FAX THEM A COPY OF YOUR PASSPORT to confirm the transfer! (in fact they accept an email with the 'cyber checkout number'). On that final page there is no way to ...

...to be introduced soon. UK2.net also sell web servers so you can run your own Redhat Linux server for an incredibaly low price (though I can't remember exactly how much off hand!). You can run these servers for almost anything, WWW, FTP, SMTP, POP3....infact any server you can set up on a Linux machine! On the downside is the customer support. There is no phone support and a lot of questions to go through before you get an on-line form to fill in ...
...amazingly easy! I like UK2.net a lot. I will buy more domain names through them. If you need all the trimmings such as being able to manage your own MX records then you could probably find a better host, but for most sites uk2.net is a good, cheap solution to owning your own domain name.

Don't be tricked by this domain regisration and web hosting(no features) 'company'. They charge an average price for a domain but when you have registered it with them you are pretty much at their mercy because it will cost you almost thirty quid to transfer it away from them to a proper host. Don't be fooled into their sales pitch where they says its only 2p a month for a uk domain. This is only the case if you buy 50 domains in one go and that ...
...per domain and then there is VAT on top of that. So to pay '2p' a month for one domain you have to fork out; 2p x 24(months) x 50 (domains) plus 50(domains) x £5(nic fees) x VAT = about £321.95!!!!!! I mean I could buy a BMW M3 for £8,000 if I bought 50 of them and then added the VAT and everything else later on!!! The web forwarding option has a huge advert at the top of the page and an annoying pop up adver too. Theres no support at all. Not ...
