We run websites for many clients and some are county specific. We’ve built sites for clients in France, Spain and the UK and often times a generic TLD is not sufficient (.com .net .org) and a national domain is preferred. We use various providers for Domain registration but when it comes to UK specific domains we use DiscountDomainsUK.com.

But not only do this provider offer .uk domains, you can also register co.uk, me.uk, org.uk as well as .eu, eu.com, gb.com and gb.net. DiscountDomainsUK.com is an ICANN Accredited Registrar.

Located in Telford, a few miles from Birmingham, this company offers very competitive pricing for these domains as well as generic TLDs. Pricing is available in GBP, USD and Euro which is great for companies likes ours that work in multiple currencies.

So once again, when it comes to services, why run your own hardware when you can use a hosted automatic call distribution service? Seriously, it makes so much more sense to have such services hosted via a professional third party such as USAN.com.
