I have never heard of solo card. I am guessing that it is not just another branded MasterCard or Visa.

Yeah 123-reg.co.uk or ukreg.com, both ok prices and good free features (free redirects, free e-mail fowarding etc)

And a solo card is a debit card mainly for under 18's and those who can't/don't want to be credit checked, because it checks your bank balance before every transaction, while visa debit, switch etc all do the checking at the end of the day, the only problem with it is that it isn't as widely accepted as other cards

ukreg are often complete ****e and slow with updates. They are also the same company as fasthosts :angry:

http://123-reg.co.uk are the best. Support is very quick. I have about 10 domains on my account with them.

I had heard of the Solo card but never knew exactly what it was. Thanks for the explanation!

I have approx 35 domain names with 123-reg with no problems at all. Great service, great price, and best of all they happily accept Solo.

on 123-reg

it says: Q. How can I change the name servers for my US domain names to point at my dedicated server?



does this mean all domains registered with them you can change the nameservers / dns i (the thing to point ot your hosting company) ??? or just a certain type of domain

You can change the DNS (Nameserver) names on all domains with 123-Reg free of charge.

Lucky you, I work for one of Solo's main issueing banks - Solo is a cut down version of a Switch (a UK debit card) designed for teenagers on 16+ accounts.
Its generally accepted in most the places Switch is.

Yep, nearly everywhere you see a Switch symbol you can use Solo as well, or at least I did when I had a Solo card some years back.
