Advantages: none

Disadvantages: dishonest

123-reg's parent company is Webfusion who have a reputation for funny business with domain names. Basically they registered a domain for me and added themselves as the contacts so I have no legal claim over the name, and I've heard other people have had the same experience.

So I wouldn't use them because of that but there are other reasons why they should be avoided. The small print is extremely misleading with regard to the name authority fees being extra and they don't have a clear and well written Terms and Conditions statement.

Webfusion also had another domain registration service which they are still running so I'm highly suspicious that they've started a new one. Get-your.co.uk charge very high prices compared to what domains actually cost and I think 123-reg charges their fee plus Get-your.co.uk's fee as well.
