UKNM: RE: UKNM: RE: UKNM: .uk domains now �5 for two years!

[Bunder, Leslie]

But check the small print,  thename.co.uk will only do one at the cost

price, it says on the site:


"We have decided not only to pass

 on the full saving to our customers, but also to register and reserve UK

domain names

 at �5 for personal and business use (one per person - includes fees and

'parking' for 2

 years)"


One name per person, so you couldn't really get 2, 3 or even 20 at that

price!  Maybe you could get your family involved.


Also, the price of a fiver does not include any forwarding either e-mail or

Web, so if you want the domains to point to your Web space then you'll need

to pay extra for that.


Remember, just check the small print before you go ahead with any deals!
