Well, my company (3a IT) is a Nominet tag holder (DESIGNS2WEB) and we 
can register almost any domain you want... 3 of the main people at 3a 
are subbed to this list, so any technical issues you would have with 
them would be quickly resolved, if you went with us :)

We don't have a control panel, but just fire off an email to us and the 
changes will be made :)

ewww, modifications to admin-c/tech-c/etc can be changed by us for no 
charge, along with nameservers, etc.

Also, we're doing a SLUG special offer at the moment - .uk domains are 
£8/2 years, down from our normal price of £9.49/2 years (hey, it's a 
bit of a saving :) and for .com/.net/.org we can do them for £20/2 
years, down from our normal charge of £24.75. If you need hosting, I'm 
sure we can do a deal on that too :)

Contact details at the bottom of the email.

I have a server colocated with BlackCat which works very well, but they 
have had a few outages over the past few months what with Redbus HEX 
power outages and the like - and they're not on this list, 3a are :)

123-reg - er, yes. I'll say nothing on them other than a Nelson-style 
'Ha ha!' :)

Contact me OFF LIST for any more info on these offers :)
