Default Who's your Domain Registrar?

I use 123-Reg. Never had any drames with them - and registering domains is a cinch - but I understand their hosting can be... 'problematic'.

What's your's and why?

I use Fuzioned.com, use them for hosting too.

I have used 123-reg among others. Will never use 123 again as transferring domains away from them can be a nightmare. I've had several battles to get them to release domains in the past.

And I have way too many domains... couple of really good ones with future resell value

I use 123 for new registrations but not for transfering in customers' domains. LCN (lcn.com) has a much more efficient process for this and are more on the ball by phone.
Update: Forgot to say I also always use separate web hosting companies, this make it easier to change if there are hosting problems and widens your scope to get the best hosting package for your needs.

I wondered why this question was in Thanks & Recommendations forum?

The 123 interface is a bit clunky. We use godaddy & daily.co.uk

Godaddy because thats like the google of registrars & daily.co.uk - dropped on them a while back. Registration is almost instant & nameserver change over is usually 5 mins max

I use UK Reg for my own and those I register for clients. Have used them since the old fasthosts days (10 years or so) and never had an issue. Transfers in and out are simple. All admin work is simple. NS changes are simple - pretty simple really

I use daily.co.uk. Used to use 123-reg until they were sold a few years back and they had some problems with DNS. The guys who used to run 123-reg now run daily...

We use Fasthosts as we run everything through our hosting package with them. No problems to report so far.

We use 123-Reg and host everything on our own servers, so no problems with their DNS yet. We have tried some others but the Control Panel we found was to limiting.

Cheers
Dave

I use 123-reg for my domain names. I like to keep my hosting company and domain name company seperate though, naturally.

I never understood why they always try to upsell and offer me one email account for my new domains! Much easier to host e-mail myself

I was using Telivo but over the past few months seemed to spend more time with server down than up - not good when I rely on emails through them etc.

Did a very easy transfer across to daily.co.uk and so far everything seems OK.

I wouldn't use GoDaddy after a multitude of complaints. Infact there is a whole website dedicated to GoDaddy complaints. nodaddy.com
