I am somewhat less b0rked by the A&A fiasco than I thought, because 1) I do have the money, and 2) I have the money in the joint account where we have been paying it to diligently every month. This means we have a bit less to spend on a bathroom than a thought, which is still irritating, but we can cope.

I am still thinking of moving from A&A, though. Just to clarify, what I am actually getting from them is:-

Registration £1.00
This includes registration with the appropriate internet registry and a reasonable number of changes that you may require. It covers the registry fee as well as our time providing any management and support. This price covers normal uk/net/com/org and info domains - others may be more expensive. eu domains are £2.00. ac.uk/gov.uk domains are £5.00.

Primary DNS £1.00
This covers the provision of the domain name service for your domain, including web based DNS editing with live syntax checking. Note that secondary DNS services are included when we provide primary DNS services and for all of our ADSL customers for any domain.

Email handling £1.00
This includes either secondary MX (i.e. backup) mail relay, and/or pop3 mail boxes (unlimited email addresses under the domain or sub domains). Email can be sorted on our mail servers, and we allow up to 1GB per domain. Extra usage over 1GB is charged at £1.00 per month for each extra GB or part.

Web space £1.00
This includes our web hosting service allowing static pages, perl scripts, password protected areas, usage stats, and handling multiple subdomains. We allow up to 1GB per domain. Extra usage over 1GB is charged at £1.00 per month for each extra GB or part.

If anyone can suggest a cheaper way of doing all or most of that, I'd be pleased. In particular unlimited email addresses under the domain or sub domains matters to me, and some of them have to go to other people.
