My domains are slated for renewal.
I want to get some ideas from those who regularly deal with this kind of stuff.
I found this place here on code project. . . . Hosting and Servers[^]
Is that the group where I should ask serious questions about domain name registration ? For the immediate moment in front of me, my upcoming renewals are commanding my thoughts.
Is there another group here on CodeProject where this is better discussed ? (Is this a lounge topic ?)
I welcome other suggestions of other websites where the these sorts of experts congregate.
Minor Note: Comments that suggest asking any internet search site will be summarily ignored.

I use to use UK2.net, put then many years ago switched over to 1and1. I switched to them because of their hosting packages, then moved up to virtual server etc.
Never had any problem with them.

My thoughts at this moment are that I should have a separate host and a separate registrar.
The idea of being legally responsible to only one party, and that party having such a strong influence of both the hosting and the registration; that's just too creepy for me at this moment.

Clicked, looked, saw everything about hosting, nothing about registration.
Evidently, the money is this biz comes from hosting, not registering, not renewing.

I look after an organisation that is registered through Newnet. The other one is actually registered through http://www.lcn.com/[^], (not EUK) sorry about that. Most of these companies do web hosting as their main business and registration as a side issue. Whether you do everything through one organisation or split between two is your (free) choice.

Interesting idea; renewing with a company outside the USA.
Others who have done that; please post your personal experience.

Each country has an official registrar responsible for all its domains. Other (hosting) companies provide the actual registration service and maintenance. The UK registrar is http://www.nominet.org.uk/whoweare/whatwedo/overview[^].

Only because you added the comment... Google[^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Whut? Whut? Did someone say summat?

Google said it, you believe it, that settles it.

Even after the advice I found for you, you couldn't resist?

Stupid quiz[^]. Sensible answers got 31, but intentionally stupid got 10!
How high/low can you go?

Apparently, I have done it before: 25
But the highest I could get it even trying hard to be boring was 40...and the lowest I could get was 10.
|

Something is wrong as it says 25. I thought it would be 10 or 60!
|
|
|
|

I did nothing, no questions were asked, didn't provide any answers, and my mental age was 25. Sounds appropriate, but makes absolutely no sense.
I don't get it...

Go to the site, cut the "/result.html" part off the address, and load it again - it'll go through the questions (but don't expect anything "in depth", or even interesting)
|
|

That is what I ended up doing, now I'm 20. You're right, nothing in depth, all were questions that concern the "socially connected".
Bah humbug! Young whippersnappers [^]...

Actually rather closer than I'd predicted. 40
Thanks Nagy.

Meh, I hate quizzes where the answers are laser focused and irrelevant. For example, on the weekends, I neither do chores, go to bed early or go and get drunk. Where is stay up all night gaming? Huh, huh?

Trying for the lowest score I got:
"Your mental age is 13"
Trying for the highest score I only got 34.
I wonder what highest mental age that test will ever give.

I believe answering the survey in itself removes a lot of years from your score.

Sensible answers taking into consideration I'm offshore and my birthday lands this week while i'm out here, resulted in a 37.

So you'll be having a wild night on the Iron Bru then?

You mean IRN-BRU
Sure will, that and a box of Ferrero Rocher that the kids put in my offshore bag.
