They've recently been bought by GoDaddy. Host Europe, the parent company they bought, Includes heart internet, 123reg, paragon, TSO, Vidahost, Domain Factory, Mesh, Webfusion, Domain Box.

Thanks for the info. I'll stay well clear off those companies.

not only .co.uk, I picked up a .uk address for 99p for future use using the code. Also applies to .org.uk if you prefer that.

personally, used Heart internet for my domains for many years and can't say a bad word about them. they don't pressure you into getting anything else from them, I bought the .uk domain and within an hour I chucked a quick website onto some free hosting and had the name servers updated and some email forwarding setup without a hitch.

Many thanks!

I use similar services elsewhere but intend to move some services to InfinityFree on expiry. "Free" hosting typically has no or forum-only support, limited server resources and limited email services. Some providers insist that you login every xx days to show the account is still active. Most of these requirements are reasonable considering the cost being charged. Some free hosting providers place ads on your site; Infinity states it does not.

Do you use them yourself? Are there any catches? Im new to this sorry

Don't forget that for .co.uk you will have to register with full, real, details of yourself.

crap website

Thanks for letting me know! They are off my list then, I hope others will do the same!

Was it a lion or an elephant? Well doesnt really matter- I wouldnt touch any of his companies now.

Hosting included?

What's the trick to coerce Heart to pay the VAT? Thanks.

123-Reg also offer 99p domains for the first years without any codes

This is per year, yes?

Only valid for a 12 month contract.
