Our namesake, Register.com, is muscling into the UK with cut price domain names. The US-based reseller is offering co.uk and .org.uk extensions for the bargain basement price of £49, compared with the usual rate of £80-£90. UK-specific registration costs are almost twice as expensive as .com or .net domain names, according to Register.com. However, the upper price it quotes for UK domain names -- at £200 -- typically comes with email addresses and 20Mb worth of web hosting attached. ® You can get your cheap UK addresses at here
