123-REG™ - Hosting Facts Comments and Complaints

Hosting Package: Starter Pro **

 £3.99 per month inc VAT (fees paid annually)

123-reg web hosting

The Pipex group owns 123-reg. It is part of the same group of companies as WebFusion.

This is their most expensive package.

500MB of storage space for your website and a monthly traffic limit of 5GB, which should be enough for a modest site.

PC Magazine Review comments:

"The ordering and registration process is a bit confusing, as you have to set up an account and log in before you can actually subscribe to a package." "Abysmal control panel."
Computer Shopper April 2008

Subdomains are available but cost extra, but they cost £10 each per year, which is much more than other services charge, and most offer a quota as part of the package.

You can access the 35 email addresses provided either through the advanced webmail interface or using a POP3 client, but there is no IMAP support.
