123-reg.co.uk Reviews

I'm a web developer and so have had a lot of experience with different domain name registration and hosting companies, and I've found 123-reg.co.uk to be one of the better sites in this market. 123-Reg offer a wide range of services, from domain registration to website & email hosting and instant website creation tools. I only ...

I've used 123 reg for domain name ordering, management and i have also played around with some of their services such as template sites. The ordering process is very straightforward, and the Control Panel that you have access to, and that helps you manage all of your domains, is great. You can set up Web forwarding or email ...

I use 123 Reg to register and manage my domain names. My personal experience with them has been good, but then I have not yet needed support from them. However, they do have a helpful FAQ section. Registering domain names is quite simple. You simply choose what domain name you want (which may or may not be available). 123 Reg will give ...

I use 123-Reg for registering all of our .uk domain names and have never had any problem with them to date. Personally I've needed to contact them so I can't comment on their customer service but I expect that with their pricing it is as to be expected. The control panel isn't bad but could be improved if you have several domains like we do, to make things quicker. Pricing is very good for .uk domain names especially. I've never registered a .com with them. You can keep control of your own DNS settings so that you can use whichever web and email host you like etc. I've noticed that DNS changes sometimes take a while to update, but to be fair it is quite reasonable and probably needed to keep the service up without any problems. Overall I would recommend them to anyone who asked me.

I have been using 123 reg now for about 6 months, i bought the domain name and the web site. i have some positives and negatives. The initial site setup and registration was fine including the templates were pretty easy to use. You choose you template insert pictures logos, and text thats about it, however when you come to change the template ...

123-reg.co.uk are a domain name registration company, so you can register and maintain domains from around the world, whether you want a .com or a co.uk address. I've used the site now for six years, and I must confess it continually seems to be owned by a new company, I've received invoices from Webfusion, Host Europe and the site is ...

Stay away from 123-reg!!
Impossible to contact them over the phone regarding an Auth Code I requested. I am spending a fortune on the phone waiting to speak to someone. I called several time impossible to get through but I got cut off several times!!!!!!!!

It's many years since I came across a business with such appalling responsiveness to customers. Ah - 'customers' - those gullible ones who give their hard earned cash in return for products or services. Or not as the case may be with 123-Reg. I first started using them in 2002 when I bought my domain for my new business. Ok.. it was ...

Customer support is absolute rubbish. Transferring a domain away from them is an absolute nightmare. They effectively have you over a barrel because before you can transfer they need to provide you with an authorisation code for your new registrar. By simply ignoring your requests they can eke it out so that you eventually run out of time (at ...

I am absolutely appalled with this company. They sent me two renewals for the same website hosting (I'd upgraded 2 years ago) for Starter Plus and Starter Pro. I foolishly paid and then noticed the mistake. Two weeks later I've had one e-mail telling me I'm wrong even though its obvious I'm not and I've had to resort to trading standards to try ...

I registered a domain name with 123reg yesterday morning (21st May) and was expecting it to be up and running by now. Should I be concerned or am I just being impatient? I keep checking, but it defaults to the 120reg website....

Anyone know if this is normal?

Thanks

Great service when all runs smoothly but absolutely awful when something goes wrong! Technical support is really slow to respond. Uploaded web files via ftp to their server and web DNS settings were re-set to show the 123 splash page. Spent 2 weeks emailing them and trying to get it sorted. 1 email back 14 days later said they've re-set the DNS ...

Look at the preceding reviews; they tell the whole story exactly as I've experienced it. Amazing value from startup around 2000. From about 2002 to end of 2004 they were brilliant. Service declined from then until nose-dive when taken over by Pipex in 2006. Now I find the service - especially with regard to email forwarding - almost unbelievably ...

INTRODUCTION I wanted to make my very on website, so first i needed a domain... I tried NamesCo once and they charged you to change IPS Tag, which is bad as i want to move to another host after registering the domain. So i turned to 123-reg for my second domain purchase... MY EXPERIANCE The website ordering is pretty ...

it's a shame that their service has declined so much in the last couple of years. the fact that they do not respond to emails or answer the helplines just shows them to be the monkeys they have so obviously become. the webfusion/123 setup was the best there was but talk about slide into oblivion. they have done it now. their email ...

Don't use them. Terrible customer service. Lame responses, if any, that merely ask you to repeat what you have already said. Often emails are replied to by different people, out of sequence. You will even get sarcasm. The only number to call is 50p a minute. These are barred on phones belonging to wiser ...

123-reg.co.uk is not and never has been an acreditted registrar for .eu domain names. In spite of this they advertised pre-registration in 2002 and continue to offer registration. I pre- registered 12 URL's in 2002. Not one was registered. All email, letter and telephone communications have been blanked. All 12 are now registerered to people ...

I successfully registered some .eu domains with 123-reg.co.uk on 10th April. Now almost 8 weeks, around 20 emails, 1 letter and 5 premium rate phone calls later I am still unable to set the nameservers and have no control of my domains. I have not had the courtesy of a reply to my letter or a single email to explain the problem and nothing is ...

I find it hard to believe there is a worse hosting company online than 123-reg. Domain registration seems ok, but when it come to hosting, the service is terrible. I suffered the following problems during the 3 months I used their hosting services: Every 15 minutes for around 1-2 minutes the HTTP server was ...
