Well, when I moved my servers 4 weeks ago, I changed the DNS entries for my nameservers to the new IP's yet still over 4 weeks later, they will not update, this has meant I have had to create 2 new dns records using a different domain to point at them, most of my clients have been without there websites for nearly a week because of this, obviously UK2 say nothing is wrong, even though I can prove it is there servers which are not updating correctly, and since that is my root server for that domain, it keeps resetting it to an old IP which no longer exists.
I will be moving ALL my domains from their service, this is not the first run in I have had with UK2.net, I changed the IP becaused I junked there colocation service because I paid £2000 for a bandwidth upgrade only to find out 2 weeks later (when I needed the extra bandwidth) that they hadn't reset the router, when I complained, they told me nothing was wrong and it was just the graph that was displaying it incorrectly.
suffice it to say after over a week of arguing, one day it suddenly reset and starting giving me the extra bandwidth, no explanation, no appology, so I cancelled my account and moved to newnet for my network connection, which I have to say is cheaper and much faster. |

easily.co.uk have been great - not the cheapest, but *really* helpful, friendly, reliable blah blah. Been with them for 3 yrs, loads of domains. You can change the ANAME, and 20 email forwards, but you can't get to the MX, if you so wanted. You can trnasfer domains to and from them for free. Prices .balh.uk = £10 for 2 yrs, .COM etc £35 for 2 yrs.
Cheaper is ukreg.com. Haven't tried them, but friend likes them. .xx.uk £5.98 per 2 yrs, .com £18/2 yrs.

Redirection/forwarding had been made free at godaddy last time I checked. I used to pay about $9 per domain, per year for forwarding. Parking domains doesn't cost a thing either.
I believe .com, .net and .org domain prices start at $6.95 and go up to $8.95 (that's for one year, the first price is per year for 10 years or something) You should check their site for the correct prices and more information though.
Oh, so far I've registered 4 domains with them and transferred one to them. No problems at all, and should you move hosts, the changes for the DNS servers can be made in mere minutes and won't cost a thing (I know from experience) |

Yep, www.godaddy.com is the best I have come across for .com, .net or .org, but they do more. I have 15 domains with them, and they basically give you control of where you want to point your domains to. All done via the web interface.  |
