UK2 are the pits, see how much they charge you to move a domain elsewhere £19.
Unless you pay extra their webforwarding is of the frames variety too. i.e.
URL's are always shown as "http://www.yourdomain.co.uk" no matter what the
actual URL should be, which means that you can't type in
http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/page2.html it wont work. I speak from bitter
experience with them. Also tech support is non-existant.

For around 10ukp for two years you should be able to buy a .co.uk domain and
park it, a .com will be about 30ukp for two years. Proper hosting shouldn't
be much more than about £30 a year depending on the other extras you require.
My web site is hosted at http://www.xcalibre.co.uk and has been for the last
6 months, excellent service so far.

As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
