Domain and Domain emails.

[JeepJeep]

I'm looking to register a new domain that's easy enough.
Now ideally I'd want at least 2 possibly more email addresses linked to that domain name.
The Domain for another venture has an email linked to it through go daddy and Office365 which wasnt overly expensive but I'm sure wasnt the cheapest and feel there must be a cheaper way.

Being able to get the email via android phone on the go is a must.

Any suggestions?

I have never had any problems with 123 reg. Heart internet are also meant to be very good, although I have no personal experience of them.

I've tried several and Godaddy ticked all the boxes for me. I don't know whether they are the cheapest, though. You generally get what you pay for.

I think 123's help line is only open during office hours which is what pee'd me off.

I use 1&1 for my domains

Email on the Android will be no problem as you can just install Office365 (Outlook)

Replying to my own post!

I was reminded about 123reg today. I remember I found it very difficult to terminate my contract with them. I told them online, but they continued to take money from my account. So I sat down and wrote a recorded delivery letter and sent it to their registered company address. I also cancelled the direct debit in their favour with the bank. I did not use their facilities thereafter.

I have been doing my accounts today and see that they are still taking money from my account TWO YEARS AFTER I terminated my agreement with them. I will of course be taking this up with my bank but if you are considering doing business with 123reg, I would advise you to be very very cautious.

I had 123reg auto renew a Mickey mouse website builder package I had and an email linked to the domain on an expired card.

Apparently cards will let money out on an expired card for auto renew but won't let it in again forva refund.

In all fairness I clocked it the day it went out. Their customer service was first class and the money was back in a different business account in 3 days.

I've just found this from my archives, dated 24 September 2015, "I was very impressed with the way 123-reg so quickly answered my enquiry. But once they had my money I discovered the facts. They did not answer their help lines! Having had a similar experience with another provider I was with for eight years, I admit I panicked. I had no web sites and no emails. That is still the situation -- and no help from 123-reg. It is my understanding from Trading Standrrds that a purchaser has a 14 day cooling off period when buying an Internet service at long distance. So I cancellend by Recorded Delivery letter to their head office. No reply! My efforts to get my domains transferred to another provider have also failed. My advice, based on this experiences, would be to avoid this company at all costs".
