123-reg is a Mary Celeste company! No one ever answers your queries preferring instead to send you automated repsonses – and should you have the nerve to reply saying you’d like the question to be addressed properly – by a human – they then send you an email saying ‘sorry for the delay – unpresendented demand etc etc …your query is now closed’ what!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!

Am in the process of shutting down my account… please someone – give me the details of a company that has great customer support and no premium rate. pleeeeeeeese!

I have had a website with 123-reg now for a year, and have never gotten my POP emails to work, despite numerous discussions with their technical support, I still can’t get it fixed. all 20 of my POP boxes simply do not work with any email client. everyone seems to be stumped.

[...] I’ve blogged before about problems with 123-reg.co.uk and although I got my issues sorted out the post did seem to attract a few more people who are having problems. Time has passed and the service has been fine up until this week. [...]

123-reg problems do seem to be continuing for people which is a shame. I’ve been ok recently but I don’t think I trust them like I used to.

Jonny – if I can help you out in any way let me know.

I can’t even log into my account at present – for some reason when accessing the website from Vietnam I get a ‘Fedora Core Test Page’ instead of their website (I’ve checked the IP address and it’s correct) and if I enter through a proxy I can’t log into my account either – its a real bind as I have several domains that need redirecting to new places!

I tried to contact 123-reg tech support about a problem with my site and it was nearly two months before I got a response, apologising for the delay blah.. blah… no solution. I asked again, no reply. Emails started to take days(sometimes 10!) to arrive, if they ever came at all. STILL no reply from tech support.
DO NOT USE 123-REG !!! DO NOT USE 123-REG !! oh, and for you at the back… DO NOT USE 123-REG!!!

I have recently registered three domains with 123, web hosting and POP 3 Mailboxes.

I am having problems with two sets of POP 3 mailboxes where it is taking up to 8 hours to both receive and deliver emails which is really pretty awful when you are intending to launch a web site with ordering and buy facility.

I also have a major problem as I cannot access any of the ftp Servers to upload my new web sites. I have emailed many times without response. I have tried for the last three days to call their premium number without answer.

I have a few different websited with them and I purchased 10 new pop3 boxes the other day and they still don’t work. I have phoned them, faxed them, emailed them and wrote to them and there is no response. Their telephone line is a Premium Rate line and they can’t even be bothered answering that. It seems they have given up!

On the theme of 123reg being broken, I recently bought a domain and when I got to checkout, two other random domain names appeared in my basket. I thought for a minute about buying them and they seem kind of good, but decided against. Checked later and they were indeed registered that day by a 123reg customer. The lesson? Don’t hang about during checkout in case your domains end up in someone elses basket!
