Would be interested to see which you end up using. Also, IP address range
(not bothered about specific machine, just want to check for UK or USA /
Canada / German hosting). Something not mentioned by VN is how big each
individual mail messages can be, and the total mailbox size allocated.
Incidentally I suspect the VN price is just for the mail/redirection and
the domain is extra fee on top. Not massively pricey for UK domains but
I have recently transferred some domains for US $5, and up to $7 or $9
is quite common, so any UK firm charging 9 pounds (+VAT?) seems high to me.
(OK, I expect profit on top, but +100 % compares with pubs and jewellers!)
May only be of interest to some, but Hostway (.com) charges $7.95 for their
US customers, or 5.95 GBP (+VAT) on hostway.co.uk - they still compete with
common 8.99 GBP / etc pricing from UKreg.com and 123-reg.co.uk... I prefer
to pay under 5 pounds whenever I can :-)
bong... bong... bong... and finally... may be worth asking about this in
uk.net.providers and/or alt.internet.providers.uk for a wider readership
as it's not really a broadband query...
