Re: FN-FORUM Domain forwarding

Thanx everybody that replied.

To Alex:

I signed up with www.123-reg.co.uk and you can transfer domains away from
them without any cost.

If there is another catch then please let me know. Their prices are also
very good.

They're probably not a 'proper' registrar, but quite frankly, I just had to
get these domains registered.



To All:

Also registered some domains with easily.co.uk more than 3 days ago, and
still nothing. Their phone lines are also not answered, nor do they reply to
any emails.

If I now cancel the transactions with my bank then they will probably screw
me with the domains. Any advice will be appreciated.

Nam-and-shame might be a good idea here, but please ... I am not
recommending that anybody does it :)

Cheers

Willie
