[gentoo-server] Recommendations for a dependable domain registrar in UK (or Europe)

["Kerin Millar" <kerframil@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was recently asked whether I could recommend a domain registrar
(preferably based in the UK). In the case of the company I'm working
for right now, many domains are managed through 123-reg.co.uk which
does not have a particularly good track record [1] in terms of the
reliability of their infrastructure, not to mention awkward management
tools. Nonetheless, I'm sticking to the status quo because going
through the bureaucratic process of transferring authority would be
more trouble than it's worth. Other than that, I would normally
procure domains as part of a hosting package with an ISP that I deem
reputable.

In this case, it's a personal request and the domains will be
independently registered (with hosting to be considered further on
down the road). So it occurred to me that I wasn't really in a
postition to actually recommend any particular registrar for an
independent registration of a .com/.co.uk.

I was wondering if anyone on the list might have any thoughts on the
matter. I'm aware that most registrars are much of a muchness,
especially as it does not tend to be a profit-making service.
Nonetheless, if there is a registrar based in the UK that is known to
have a solid infrastructure and that provides reasonable support, I'd
be happy to hear about it.

Regards,
