Two years ago, 123-Reg and NamesCo decided to register millions of .uk domains for customers without asking them. They just got the renewal reminders...

namesco defaults to expensive renewal

It's true that NamesCo offers a £9.99 two-year renewal for these .UK domains...

But the default duration it offers is three years, for £42.96 !!

You have to choose to change the duration to see the "offer" price (for a service never ordered).

Which then reverts if you navigate away from the renewal page!

More borderline-fraudulent practices. Deliberately misleading at best.
