www.register365.com is now only €21.95 ex VAT per annum ,and you get a web based control panel to manage nameservers , renewals as well as 24/7 technical support.







Disclosure - i work for reg365 - so any questions PM me

The best thing you can do for yourself is to see which of the Irish hosts do IE domain registration and look at their packages. Speak with their support staff if you have any questions.

I quite like www.letshost.ie - domains are €19.99 per year.

Can any one posting here declare their employer if relevant to this discussion?

Good idea. I am not employed by letshost, blacknight, or hosting365.

If speed and performance are important for your website, I wouldn't recommend letshost.ie. Their servers are US based and it is my experience that performance can be very sluggish. It even times out on me from time to time.

(I'm a customer of webhosts... don't work for any)

I've actually never experienced their hosting - I just know they are cheap and have prompt and polite customer service.

For all your information, letshost.ie have suspended my website because of my post above. They suspended the account while I was in the middle of downloading a backup of the website.

See for yourself: www.woodentoys.ie

From my experience with 2 guys there, they've been very helpful and competitive. Like DublinDude, I've never had hosting from them but their own site (control panels & support sites, etc.) have always been fine. For a long time now, they've been the cheapest provider of .ie domains.

Suspended because of your post, or suspended because you'd breached T&C/AUP (the link you provide doesn't say)?

How would I know - didn't receive an email or a reason. Is it in their T&C that I can't express an opinion of their services? If you are in some way associated with them, perhaps you could enlighten me, or ask them to tell me what I need to do to get my livelihood back online.
