You may have noticed that many of the large domain registrars have been raising their domain registration fees recently. While this is a concern for many website owners this is benefiting customers of Pipe Ten as they are now getting some of the best value domains available in the UK. This is also the reason more and more customers are switching registrars and transferring their domain registrations over to Pipe Ten.

Compare Pipe Ten pricing to that of many of the popular UK registrars for the main top level domains:

Keeping your domain’s contact information updated
We have previously posted about how important it is to keep your hosting account contact details up to date.  It is also equally important that your domain name contact details are also kept up to date.  By contact details we mean full name, postal address, email address and telephone number.

No matter who your domain is registered with the domain is managed by a governing body.  The three main governing bodies you may come across when registering a domain with Pipe Ten are ICANN (when registering for example a .com, net or .info domain), Nominet (when registering a .uk domain) and EURID (when registering a .eu domain).  At any time these governing bodies may need to contact you and they will use your registered contact details.
