Daily.co.uk credits

[cav]

Sadly the daily.co.uk credits are coming to an end in May as they mutate into tsohost.

Can anyone suggest a low cost alternative to Daily please?

Join Nominet? Once you've paid the one-time fee (£400+VAT), and the annual membership fee (£100+VAT), you'll get domain registrations/renewals for £3.50+VAT/year. Plus there may also be certain discounts, campaigns, deals or bargains from time to time that drive the price even lower. It's a bit like Fight Club in that members are not allowed to talk about the specifics of such promotions, but let's just say that on occasion they do show up.

Also if you join here I’ll give you £4.99 + VAT on renewals:

Anyone else experiencing problems with Daily internet's migration to TSO Host. All of our bulk credits have disappeared (had over 100 spare) and all of our past renewal domains are showing as 'status cancelled' and you cannot manage them or renew them. TSO Host interface doesn't look half as user friendly as Daily and doesn't appear to be any transfer out tag change facility. I know we should have our own tag and we were looking at this.

Cheers for info Ben. Yes I've raised a support ticket. I'm sure they said they'd allow credits to be carried over and used - but ours have gone and we've got renewals due. Will be using 20i in the meantime as we've got a reseller account there and prices are very good. How long does it take to apply for a tag and have it up and running?

 

[Nigel]

thanks for that info - yes we use fasthosts as well and like their system. We are buying some on their £1 offer - however their credit prices for renewal aren't as good as 20i's reseller prices and they don't let you use .co.uk credits for .uk domains.

 

[Nigel]

so we've now got to open a support ticket with TSO Host any time we want a tag change on a domain - what a ridiculous waste of time.

I have a few domains with daily (personal ones) that have now transferred across. I used daily because it provided me with web forwarding and email forwarding, so I didn't have to assign for use on a host server. Having looked at tso, I cannot see where this is set up, all references to forwarding are blank, and my nameservers are still pointing to daily, so presumably are still being controlled by them...but for how long before suddenly I find my domains no longer point where they should. I'll quiz them on this in a few days, once they've no doubt gone through a mountain of queries similar.

 

[Nigel]

well we've got over a thousand on web forwarding to Sedo so really hope they don't meddle with that as well.

 

[Edwin]

If absolutely necessary I think you can still pay to do bulk tag changes directly through Nominet?

(You shouldn’t have to, of course, but if it’s that or see your domains held hostage by an uncooperative registrar it’s at least an option...)

 

[Nigel]

Bulk tag change thro' nominet may be only option on this. Another problem is TSO Host are now saying I can only use my credits (over 100 still on my daily account) for new registrations and transfers - even though they were mainly purchased for renewals. Doesn't seem right especially as Daily said on 20th April:

"What happens to Domain credits?

If you have domain credits these will be copied across to your new my.tsohost account and you will still be able to use them. Moving forward, new domain credits will not be available for purchase."

 

[cav]

I made the decision to get my own TAG and have no regrets. Will save future monies and hassle. Thankfully, i had ran out of Daily credits and had not topped up when i got the tso email.

 

[Nigel]

Well done - wished we had been a bit more pro-active in getting this sorted sooner - I foolishly accepted Daily's promise that we would be able to use our credits, and never expected that that expired domains would re-appear in TSO Hosts control panel under the heading 'cancelled status'. I've asked for name of senior person at TSO and I'll have to take it further.

 

[Nigel]

little update on this. Important for ex daily customers to check that TSO Host aren't trying to auto renew all your domains in a 2 month window i.e. from 30 days past renewal to 30 days pre renewal. Just noticed that they tried to debit us 61 separate invoices earlier today (probably thousands of pounds - haven't added it up) despite us previously deciding against auto renew on any of our daily renewals. Fortunately they haven't got our credit card details attached to our new TSO account and all of the invoices have CANCELLED on them. I've stopped the credit card that Daily had the details of and told TSO Host to remove auto renew across our account - but that instruction hasn't been acted on as yet.

 

[Nigel]

Some good news - TSO Host have confirmed that we will be able to use our 109 credits for renewals - although their system hasn't configured this option yet. Hopefully will be done in next couple of days.

 

[Edwin]

Congrats. Good to hear you’ll be able to use up your credits before you leave them.

You can find the domain credit in your client area> bundles

You can use them to register domain from the bundle menu as well.

Just got this info from the chat

 

[Nigel]

at the moment you can't go into that bundle area and use credits for renewals which is the main reason I purchased our credits. However TSO Host have now said I can send them a list of domains and they will manually renew them using our credits.
