Ok this is a tricky one to write.

123 reg offer a few services and depending what you want depends on if you should go with this company or not.

Firstly domain registration and management: I've been using them for several years (possible as many as 9 now) for domain registration. We used to use dedicated-hosting their sister company for leasing our web servers and If you see the review i gave them in 2004 you realize I wouldn't touch them with a proverbial barge pole ;)

But we stuck with 123 for domain registration and by and large they have been fairly good.

The positives being that they are competitively priced and offer domain auto renewal services etc that are handy. They also don't penalise you for moving domains away which some companies will do.

I say by and large as we have had issues over the years most notably when for a period of a fair few months their auto renewal systems didn't work which resulted in us having paid for a domain renewal and the domain not getting renewed and the site and email that it was used for going of line until 123 manually renewed it on their end. This happened to a few domains until they fixed their internal issues. Not good.

Having said that we haven't had a problem since and the easy to use control panels for registering, movinf and administering domains is good.

The other thing 123 reg offer is hosting and whilst we don't use this service ourselves from reading others comments I would stay well clear.
