I need to move my school domain from its current registrar RMPLC to someone who will allow me to change my own DNS settings and control my own subdomains...

 

Recommend me a registrar who understands .sch.uk addresses...

 

I've talked to a couple of registrar companies who don't get it and its frustrating me.

 

Cheers.

We use Zen, partly as they are our local company, but they have a nice simple web interface where you can change all the settings online.

Very straightforward.

We changed it to our self, do you have a reliable enough connection and a backup connection from a different providor to host both the name servers on?

 

sadly, we are on a single line with no access into our own router as it owned by swgfl - we are working on that as a seperate issue!

 

Has anyone else used Host-it? they seem to be the only registrar who come high up the list in google who understand the sch.uk domains.

RM's insistence that any DNS change requests be faxed through on headed paper has always struck me as a little bizzare and poorly thought through. I would have thought that emailing from the domain in question is a much more secure and obvious method, rather than letting anyone who's ever received a letter from our school fake up a request and fax it in!

that and the fact it takes them about 3 weeks to do anything with it, and if you ask for anything a tiny bit complicated (like the routing of a subdomain) they bork it.

We'll do it if you like. We normally bundle it into our broadband costs but it's only £50 a year to host a .sch.uk domain on its own and give you access to our control panel.

We moved .sch.uk directly from RMPLC to CS New Media Web Hosting - UK Based Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, VPS & Dedicated Servers

very simple - @CSNM-Carl understands the process inside out :D

 

If you search the forums there are plenty of people happy with the service CSNewmedia offer.

 

@CSNM-Carl is the man, look no further for .sch.uk. seriously (and I'm not him with a different account, although I am aware I'm starting to sound like a cheesey american advert)

 

he made the process so painless.
