badboyhouse.co.uk is finally mine!

I originally registered badboyhouse.co.uk for free via the OfficeLive program. The actual host of the domain was MelbourneIT.

Well as it turned out you get what you pay for. Whilst the domain was free you were tied in with the OfficeLive program for at least 60 days. This meant having a rubbish template based website all tied in with Microsoft.

To cut a long story short I managed to cancel the whole badboyhouse.co.uk domain registration via Microsoft and MelbourneIT (the domain host). I contact Nominet in the UK and just got the domain cancelled (rather than transferred). I just then had to keep a close eye on the nominet site so that I could re-register the domain and own it all myself. 123-reg took care of this for me.

A lot of hassle just to save the 2.50 yearly domain registration fee!
