Domains

Prices of everything are still rising, and people and businesses are looking everywhere they can to save. Domain names used for emails and websites are not the type of service where you can save, however, any price rise is not pleasant to see.

For years, I have been tightening up some of my domains by registering them with Namesco (names.co.uk).

Namesco is one of those companies that imposes an additional fee on every domain if you decide to transfer it away. They justify this by citing administrative costs, but I’ve observed this practice with them for years and no other provider does the same.

It’s not the first time we’ve been in this situation where when we start using a service, it’s turned into a cash cow or killed like a fly.

Google is famous for killing its services. This time, they’re not exactly killing another one, but selling it to another company is no different.
