OT: Domain name for sale/transfer - ADSL related

A long shot but I don't suppose anyone wants to buy a domain name I
currently have registered?

Its "newbridgeadsl.co.uk"

I had it registered to setup a campaign web site before my exchange area had
ADSL. This has now happened and I don't really need this anymore.

If nobody is interested it will get cancelled, surrendered.

Suppose its only useful for someone having a connection with ADSL and either
living near another "newbridge" in the UK or having a company called
"newbridge" ;-)

To transfer it, nominet want to charge £30 + VAT so this would have to be
part of the sale!

Thanks for looking anyway

Ahem! Sorry, forget to mention about the fact that its going to expire on 7
Nov 2004 and a further two years registration for example is going to cost
another £60 + VAT...

What ? how much ?

You can get .co.uk domains for a little over 6 quid inc. VAT for two
years.

Keep it and trasnfer to a different registrar, easily.co.uk,
123reg.co.uk etc

You can get .co.uk domains for under 5 quid inc. VAT for two years.

123-reg has a transfer-in fee. However, even with a 4.99 fee and the
renewal it would be a lot less than 60 quid (huh... + VAT ouch!!) PGM

Presumably you've had a letter via snail mail from those rip off thieves called DRM
(Domian registration M-- something or other).

The thing to do with their letter is to shred it, and then send them an abusive
messaage in their reply envelope, but without the stamp.

The 60 quid plus VAT is a rip off scam. The real domain reg will email you a couple
of weeks before renewal and ask for a renewal fee that will be around the 15 quid
mark.

These DRM arseholes are simply scamming thieves.

The extra 1 GBP off the 60 + VAT price is significant, *how* ? :-)

I personally would avoid oneandone.co.uk if that's the firm which is
offering the sub-5 quid price... If you look at the extras offered in
the extra pound or so (for a new domain, not transfer), at 123-reg.co.uk
you might be surprised at what they supply over the features from 1and1.

Avoid them? Could you elaborate? I can see no 'extras offered' by
123-reg that are not also offered free with 1and1.

Thanks for all the advice. Yep, I did get a letter from some place in
Cambridge "Domain Registry Services" - I got the domain from oneandone.co.uk
originally.

Interestingly enough I did check nominet.com (I think that was it) and they
mentioned about transferring, cancelling etc. but no idea of costs.

Not sure what you meant by waiting for "the real domain reg" - I thought
that was domain registry services?

The "Domain Registry Services" are simply scammers trying to rip you off. They have
no authority but are simply a bunch of scammers that check when your domain is coming
up to expiry and then send you an "official" sounding letter telling you to send them
a large cheque. They renew you domain "on your behalf" for the £10 - £15 that it
really costs and pocket the difference.

By the "real domain reg" I mean the people with whom you originally registered your
domain. When it is due for renewal they will email you and invite you to renew, at
the normal £10 - £15 price.

These "Domain Registry Services" type concerns are just trying to rip you off.

In fact I'd go as far as to say they are a bunch of criminals, liars, thieves and con
men. Don't get involved with them.
