Bulk discounts for .uk domains?

[ibz75]

Are there any registrars who offer bulk discounts for .uk domains? Or, does anyone have any discount codes?

I have about 15 generic names I want to register - all are .co.uk/.org.uk

Thanks

If you're registering lots of domains (hundreds) it works out best to become a Nominet member and tag holder but otherwise, our pricing is extremely low (literally just above cost price + transaction fees) at £5.58 +VAT for a 2 year .uk registration :)

For bulk discounts you are going to have to add at least one 0 to the end of the number of domains you have to register. The market is already cut throat and margines are tiny.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Question for Dominic:

I have been looking at Vidahost and the packages are very competative. Being new to web hosting, my only worry was that it is a small company (no offence intended). What would happen to domain names/web sites if the company decided to cease trading?

Thanks

We're Nominet tag holders and Enom ETP members so you always have full control of your domain through them, independently of us.

Nominet being the UK governing body and Enom a widely-used domain supplier, and a very good one too - much better than others I've dealt with on behalf of clients after their host has gone bust.

To get cheap UK domains the best way is to become a member of Nominet.

One off fee: £400
Annual Registration: £100
Cost of domain name: £5 for two years thereafter

That would mean you are going direct and no one can offer cheaper than that.
