Here's the catch

Price information
New registration with hosting*) £0.00
Annual fee £12.90
Setup £0.00
Transfer (excluding annual fee) £12.90
Domain changes £0.00
Change of ownership £45.00

Good way to get started, but considering you'd usually want a domain for more than 1 year there are definitely much better deals for the longer term. Personally I'd recommend the always low priced Namecheap for registration (£7.50pa for .com) and TSOHost for the hosting (£14.99pa). You won't go wrong with these as a starter. There are cheaper alternatives for sure but these should provide the reliability you'd want for a business website.

Also, if you get a domain name for your business please, please take the effort to learn how to link it to your email. There's nothing more unprofessional than "visit our website; http://www.abcplumbing.co.uk, email us at [email protected]".

Looks like there is a catch - if you don't stay with them they'll charge you £12.90 (everywhere else I've used lets you transfer out for free).

Easyname site is poor in places. Keeps changing to German, and much of the English looks like someone has run the native German through google translate.

From your control panel, try going to "My Domains", then "External Domains" and half the page is English and half German. Not very good.

Not bad!!, hehehehe. :-)

and £45 to change the ownership of the domain.

I'd imagine they'll register you as the owner, so this fee would only apply if you want to give/sell the domain to someone else, or change from personal to business ownership. Transferring to another provider should only incur the £12.90 fee. I believe change of ownership has a statutory levy imposed by ICANN/Nominet (TLD-specific), but it's definitely not usually as high £45 as I've done it recently for a bulk load of domains.
