My experience of 123-Reg is truely bad, I agree with alot of the negative sentiment people have mentioned above.
I think there is something truely dishonest about spitting in your customers face and not allowing them to question your questionable business practices.
These are certainly not talentled busness inovators with interesting and valuble things to sell-no these are opportunist bottom feeders. No sophistication-yobs, that is all.

Hello Pipex,

I’m writing this E-mail in a bid to resolve what is turing into a serious problem, one that should have been quickly and deciesivly solved weeks ago. I am now looking to manage the problem by contacting the parent company and hope someone amongst you will have the balls to reply and do what is right.

I bought a domain name (http://www.kayandtee.com/ user: real10 from) 123-Reg last year and no longer wish to use the company or their serviices. Then “why” are 123-Reg taking money(£25) out of my Pay pal account when I do not use their services. This is proving fustrating as they and I presume you-do not want or seemly intend to set the situation straight.

I have just now been searching the net and have read first hand the low esteem your companies are held in. People are not dumb. We know this is rip off Britain but you can not simply shaft your customers and expect no one to say any thing about it. If you are unaware you and and your companies are rubbish at what you do-you can not do your job properly. I can not believe a busines can be as bad as yours is and survive.

I will definatley not be giving you a futile phone call-you sap my energy. This is getting tedious-but its exactly what youd’e expect from rip off Britian.

Some will cal this perhaps a little excesive-maybe but I doubt it. ( I could be reading Vogue magazine, instead I’m sat hear pecking out my dismal thoughts)

Enough is enough.

I am beside myself, I have had nothing but trouble with 123 reg so much so and too much to mention to put in this email, the outcome after many many expensive and frustrating phone calls speaking to complete idiots who clearly did not give a care in the world about my website…was that they deleted my website which I spent 100’s of hours working on. Has anyone sued them and won?

Just saw that Daily Internet (http://www.daily.co.uk/) have offered a 30% discount to anyone wanting to move their domain and website to them in response to outages people have been suffering !

I have had a lot of success with Gandi.net. About the same price as 123Reg I seem to recall, but never had any problems with them (I have domains at both 123Reg and Gandi).

Am not surprised that 123reg is down yet again. This has been going on for ages – time and time again.I have moved all my domains to other providers. As a result I have found out why 123reg has been having so much problems. It is now apparent that after pipax bought 123reg, the developers and chaps who were running 123reg have started there own company – Daily Internet – http://www.daily.co.uk

Its incredible to now have my phone calls answered within a few rings and be able to talk to people who are knowledgeable about hosting – and to speak to some of the guys that use to support me several years ago. Been with them for a few months now and I’m very happy. They even give from Online back up drive when you migrate to them. Do your own research and call them up !

I’ve been with 123-reg for years and had no problems, but over the last two weeks I’ve been emailing them and requesting support via their website – about 6 support requests have gone unanswered. I refuse to pay 50p a minute for phone support.

I’ve just been searching to see if anyone else has had problems (which is how I found this post) – lots of people are. Here’s just one example I found – http://avoid123reg.mydisk.co.uk/.

I’m transferring all my domains away ASAP. Good luck to everyone else.

I actually spoke to a human being at pipex today. They promised my issue would be escalated to a supervisor and I should hear from them in 24 hours. Still nothing at the close of today. Okay it’s only another 13 hours after a week of going demented. I reckon I won’t hear from them. Place your bets here.
Now ….I reckon pipex have decided to shut 123-reg down. Service this bad can only be deliberate. Surely…..
Anyone else got a theory?

Muppet show is turning me into a green monster.

I have had a long running battle with 123-reg. Well, when I say battle, I mean that I did all of the fighting and they just ignored everything. I took them through the small claims court, and won judgment by default because they did not even bother to respond to the court papers saying they were being sued for x,xxx amount. Avoid these losers, without a doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with! Go to Streamline or somebody!
