I recall earlier posts either in this forum or another forum saying their company was riddled with problems, particularly in the domain registration area. I don't know whether those problems have been fixed now, but it might be wise to steer clear.

EasySpace - Avoid like the plague. I hosted there for one month and that one month was worse than any provider i can imagine bar one. Thank god that the site was only a test area.

Don't know if they are still doing it but they would register your domain with their name as the Account Admin and Tech Admin. Guess who has your domain??

I was with them for about a month, they never bothered transferring my name to them, probably because I registered it somewhere else and they couldn't charge me up when I wanted to move it. This was a couple of years ago.

I wouldnt register your domain name with any host, there are plenty of good cheap places to do it with, IE

000domain.com
domainmonger.com

and many more...

Do a search of these forums for registrars and you should find quite a few reviews on each one. (Search is in upper righthand corner.)

If you mean me, thats what the problem was, I didn't register it with them. To sum up, register wherever the best deal is and they mess you about, register with them and they can hold you to ransom.

I just got a domain hooked up with them and a second one on transferral. The later seems to take some time (a week). This can be the client however as he owns the domain-name and had to organise the transfer.
I only did a name-transfer (bought webspace, but keep admin of the name with the client) through Easyspace. That has gone through ( I can see it when I do a search), but can't do an FTP upload yet. Bit of a nuisance.
They were pretty quick setting up the domain that I bought and their servers seems pretty quick. Their banner stuff is a bit nonsensical and clouds the initial overall price.
