Confusing pricing - beware of ads
Review of uk2.net by jonball

Advantages: Web and email redirection reliable and fast
Disadvantages: Confusing and now uncompetitive pricing, especially for ad-free web redirection

....org and 9 .co.uk/.org.uk's) from uk2.net last year for a total of £105.63 for 2 years. 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 ... Read review

Check the small print
Review of uk2.net by pianos

Advantages: Very cheap domain registration
Disadvantages: Restrictions on transferring names out, pop-up window on free web forwarding

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 ... Read review

Check the outward transfer cost
Review of uk2.net by dsp22dsp22

Advantages: cheap good maintenance interface
Disadvantages: domain transfer fee, high service costs

...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 ... Read review

Do you own your domain
Review of uk2.net by loonybin

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: all

...journey again. 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 ... Read review

Just register and forward
Review of uk2.net by chrisc559

Advantages: Cheap, free forwarding, good selection of services
Disadvantages: Poor service, small print, expensive for everything else

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 ... Read review

Very good but not perfect for everybody
Review of uk2.net by hippynet

Advantages: cheap, easy to use, free on-line shop
Disadvantages: can't manage your own MX records without paying extra

...shop is 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. To see what you can do with a UK2.net domain check my web site http://www.RealityDJs.co.uk ... Read review

Do NOT go anywhere near these lot
Review of uk2.net by liuliu

Advantages: haha
Disadvantages: Rip off merchants

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 ... Read review

Quick review of uk2.net
Review of uk2.net by BigBadBob2

I have had several domains with them for seven years. UK2 have proved themselves to be totally unreliable in all respects with continual failures in hosting and email and email forwarding. We have lost many emails desoite their reassurances. Support is inadequate and the service has just got wirse and worse over time... DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Quick review of uk2.net
Review of uk2.net by stayawayfromUK2

Not bad if you stay with them FOR LIFE... BUT I have my own domain that I bought through them years ago and now I am trying to transfer it across to Namecheap. This is my experience... Nothing but trouble! I have transferred about 12 other domains from different ISP's without a problem, but UK2.net is an absolute nightmare! Tech support is slow and rubbish. I am now attempting the transfer for a 3rd time! Oh, and if you want to phone tech support, it's gonna cost you 50p/min! Thanks UK2 for hosting my domain in the past, but from my experiences with you over the last few weeks, I will NEVER be your customer again!

Review of uk2.net by Agoged

Removed money from my card for hosting I did not ask for nor want; found high transfer added costs; tie you to them for two years! Very slow and unhelpful assistance! Proves very expensive in th end. Avoid. Calls cost 50 pence a minute. Beware of this company.

Simply the WORST ISP I have EVER come across
Review of uk2.net by kitt

Advantages: Nothing at all
Disadvantages: Everything so far, a waste of time and money

I cannot believe that this company has done so well, they treat their customers - of which I am sad to be one - with UTTER contempt. I have had nothing but problems from the outset. There hidden charges grab you straight away. To get any kind of running website, you have to bolt on added costs and before you know it it is costing a bomb. Then of course, nothing ever runs smoothly, try getting any form of technical support from the sub-standard ... Read review

Quick review of uk2.net
Review of uk2.net by CBeeeeee1111111

The advert stated 3 free domains with the Ecommerce package. I got one free and was charged for the others. The Ecommerce software is a nightmare to set up as there is no documentation on how to "personalise" it from the standard template. The SSL certificate promised turned out to be self signed and the customer support although quick the replies suggest they either do not read the messages or they have a computer to do it for them. It has been one long struggle and at the end of it I still do not have a working and secure Ecommerce site. Avoid these people!

Quick review of uk2.net
Review of uk2.net by MKResident

They are promoting an E-commerce site for £9.95 a month. It says its compatible with PayPal Web Payments Pro UK but it is not. The E-commerce site is just a Pinnacle template and cannot provide SSL secure pages at the checkout on your cart. Even the example site is rubbish when you really look into it. I paid out for this as well as the registration of a doman name with them and their £50 customer service bill (to eliminate 50p a minute they charge for customer service or technical calls). Without a doubt, this is the WORST company I've ever come across and I think people should avoid them at all costs. I will write this off down to a bad experience,

Very Good Experience With Linux Dedicated Hosting
Review of uk2.net by mikehg

Advantages: Bargain Price / Good Support
Disadvantages: Dedicated servers not for the inexperienced

UK2.net are an internet domain/hosting company based in London/Docklands offering very competitive web domain and hosting packages. My experience is with their dedicated linux server hosting (uk2.net/servers/) which has been very good so far. Bargain price .. lightning fast server setup (1 day), reliable fast server with fast bandwidth. For the price £39/month which is comparable to a VPS solution , this is unbeatable. You get what it says on ... Read review
