Características y servicios

names.co.uk sells domains, hospedaje, email and website building as one bundle. Es parte del equipo.blue, the European group that also owns the sister brand LCN.com. names.co.uk’s operating company was renamed from Namesco Limited to Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited on 12 agosto 2024. Your invoices now carry a name the brand itself never traded under.

Here’s a dated change worth knowing before you read older reviews. names.co.uk retired its Starter, Profesional, Premium and Platinum hosting range on 15 noviembre 2023. Its own blog announced the replacements that day: Principiante, Enthusiast, Pro and Pro-XL. Any review still quoting those older plan names describes products the company stopped selling nearly three years ago.

Tipos de hosting ofrecidos

• Hospedaje Web – four shared tiers from 25GB to 150GB
• Hosting WordPress – three tiers with staging (a copy of your site for testing changes safely)
• WePanel Hosting – three tiers on the company’s own control panel, con herramientas de revendedor
• Servidores dedicados administrados – three configurations, priced by quote only
• VPS – listed in the navigation, with no specifications or prices published
• Correo electrónico, Microsoft 365, SSL certificates and a website builder

Características clave Los clientes destacan

Reviewers rarely praise the specifications. Ellos alaban a la gente. Recent five-star reviews name individual agents and describe problems solved on one call. What else gets mentioned? The free first-year domain, which is why many customers arrive. Backup depth also comes up, desde 1 retained daily copy on the entry plan to 28 on the top tier.

Ubicaciones del centro de datos

All hosting runs from the UK. The company describes “una 50,000 square foot facility in the heart of the Thames Valley”, con 450 racks across four data halls. Its own network links that site to points of presence in Slough and London.

For a UK audience that means low latency and UK jurisdiction. The infrastructure page names no ISO certification or tier rating, though the hosting page calls the facility “Tier3+”.

Expectativas de desempeño

No independent benchmark data turned up during this research, so treat performance claims as unverified. The platform runs NVMe SSDs (solid-state storage using a faster connection than older SATA drives), NetApp storage, y barniz, Redis and OpCache caching.

One specification deserves a check against your own code. The hosting page lists PHP 8.2, 8.1 y 8.0. PHP 8.2 reaches the end of its security support in December 2026. If your software already wants PHP 8.3 o mas nuevo, pregunta antes de comprar.

Experiencia del cliente

The public record is large and unusually polarised. De 6,049 comentarios, 70.7% son cinco estrellas y 20.2% son una estrella. Solamente 1.7% sit in the middle at three stars. Alguno 846, apenas 14%, fueron escritos en los últimos doce meses, so this record is live.

Now the number that explains the split. Probamos el 180 newest reviews, posted between 18 June and 2 septiembre 2026. los 152 written after a company invitation average 4.77, con 87.5% en cinco estrellas. los 28 written unprompted average 2.71, and fifteen of those are one-star.

So which figure is honest? Ambos son. The difference is when the reviewer was asked. An invitation usually follows a closed support ticket, so it samples the company on a good day. Nobody sends an invitation after a failed domain transfer.

Lo que los clientes elogian

Personal de apoyo, por nombre, una y otra vez. Recent five-star titles read like thank-you notes to individuals.

Longevity comes second. Reviewers describe relationships of ten years or more. One recent title simply reads “16yrs Great Customer Service”. La empresa también responde a 100% de sus críticas negativas, promediando 1.12 dias.

Quejas comunes

Domain renewal cost dominates. It isn’t close. Reviewers in June, julio y agosto 2026 describe the same shape: a cheap or free first year, then a bill they consider far above market. One July reviewer wrote that a renewal costing GBP 4.79 in year one now costs GBP 53.39. Several name Cloudflare’s registrar as the comparison, near GBP 8.

The exit fee is the second theme, and it compounds the first. Customers who decide the renewal is too high then find leaving costs GBP 10 plus VAT per domain.

Tercero, and more serious, is a cluster of domain suspensions over registrant verification emails. Reviewers between 12 June and 22 julio 2026 describe the same failure. A domain gets suspended for an unverified address, la “resend verification” button reports success, and no email arrives. Business websites sat offline for a week.

Fourth is account lockout. Logging in from a different country or IP address triggers a block, and clearing it means reaching support in UK office hours.

Comentarios de la comunidad (Reddit y foros)

Reddit adds detail the review sites don’t, and it stays consistent across seven years.

The transfer-out fee dominates. Un octubre 2019 thread in r/webdev asked whether the GBP 10 plus VAT charge was even legal. un febrero 2022 thread in r/webhosting drew a reply from a self-identified names.co.uk support technician confirming it. un abril 2023 r/Domains post came from someone who abandoned signup over it.

A practical tip sits inside that 2019 hilo. The poster asked for the fee to be waived, quoting ICANN’s rule that a transfer cannot be denied over non-payment. The company waived it. En 2024 another user copied the request and got the same result. si te vas, pregunta antes de pagar.

Two more threads matter. En diciembre 2023, r/Domains carried complaints about domains paid for but never delivered. en enero 2024, an r/webhosting user found that sites built in the names.co.uk builder can’t be exported. Positive sentiment exists but is quieter, mostly from long-term registrar customers.

Calidad de soporte

Telephone and ticket support run Monday to Friday, 8yo igual 5:30pm. Weekends and bank holidays are ticket only, 8am to 4pm. No hay chat en vivo.

Watch for a contradiction. The hosting plan pages say “Our team are available 7 dias por semana” and print a phone number underneath. The support page says weekends are ticket only. One August 2026 reviewer called at 8:15am and was told nobody was in until 9. Varios 2026 reviewers also say an AI assistant blocks the route to a human.

When to Use names.co.uk

names.co.uk fits well in specific situations.

Ideal para

UK small businesses that want a phone number: The most consistent theme in the review record is named UK agents solving problems by phone. Si el tiempo de inactividad le cuesta dinero, eso importa.

Anyone who needs UK-only hosting: Everything runs from the Thames Valley facility. For UK visitors and UK data residency rules, esa es una respuesta limpia.

Buyers who want predictable pricing: Choose the WePanel range. It carries no introductory offer, so month one and month thirteen cost the same.

Lo agradecerás si

• You want domains, hospedaje, email and Microsoft 365 on one bill
• Manejas varios sitios pequeños., because Pro hosts 25 of them for GBP 18.99/mo
• You value backup depth, because Pro-XL retains 28 daily copies
• Necesitas alojamiento de Windows, because WePanel offers Linux or Windows

When NOT to Use names.co.uk

Ningún anfitrión se adapta a todos. Look elsewhere in these cases:

Mira en otra parte si

You hold a lot of domains: Standard renewals sit above what at-cost registrars charge, and moving each domain out costs GBP 10 más IVA. A portfolio makes both numbers bite.

Buying a server is the plan: Dedicated servers are quote-only on 2016 y 2019 procesadores. The VPS line has no specifications at all.

You want a refund if it doesn’t work out: No hay garantía de devolución de dinero. Los reembolsos son “discretionary” and each request is “considered on their merits”. You’d be relying on statutory rights, no es una promesa.

Banderas rojas para su situación

• Necesitas soporte telefónico los fines de semana: Saturdays and Sundays are ticket only, whatever the plan pages imply
• You travel or work abroad: Reviewers report lockouts triggered by a change of country or IP address
• You want a contractual uptime figure: marketing dice 99.999%, the terms cap liability below 99%
• You’re price-shopping the first year: The offer lasts one month, and month two costs up to fourteen times more

names.co.uk Plans and Pricing

All prices below are in GBP and exclude 20% IVA, which is how names.co.uk displays them. Add a fifth for the real figure.

⚠️ Advertencia de renovación: The advertised hosting prices last one month, not one year. Web Hosting Beginner is GBP 0.99 por el primer mes, luego GBP 9,99/mes. That’s a 10.09x jump. Enthusiast goes from GBP 1.00 a GBP 13.99, which is 13.99x. Budget for month two.

Hospedaje Web

Principiante: GBP 0.99 primer mes, luego GBP 9,99/mes. 25GB, 1 sitio web, 1 respaldo diario, dominio gratuito. Sin certificado SSL gratuito.

Enthusiast: GBP 1.00 primer mes, luego GBP 13,99/mes. 50GB, 5 sitios web, 7 copias de seguridad diarias, SSL gratis, Acceso SSH.

Pro: GBP 2.00 primer mes, luego GBP 18,99/mes. 75GB, 25 sitios web, 14 copias de seguridad diarias, auto-patching.

Pro-XL: GBP 5.00 primer mes, luego GBP 32,99/mes. 150GB, 50 sitios web, 28 copias de seguridad diarias, Creador de sitios web.

Annual billing follows a pattern you can check yourself. Beginner costs GBP 109.89 un año, exactly eleven times GBP 9.99. The same holds on all ten plans across the three ranges. So a year costs eleven months, un 8.3% ahorro, and the offer doesn’t apply to annual terms.

Hosting WordPress

Inicio: GBP 1.00 primer mes, luego GBP 9,99/mes (GBP 109.89/yr). 30GB, 14 copias de seguridad diarias, SSL gratis, 1 test environment.

Profesional: GBP 21,99/mes (GBP 241.89/yr). 100GB, 30 copias de seguridad diarias, 2 entornos de prueba.

Prima: GBP 40,99/mes (GBP 450.89/yr). 250GB, 30 copias de seguridad diarias, 3 entornos de prueba.

Here’s the buying mistake to avoid. Web Hosting Beginner and WordPress Hosting Starter both renew at GBP 9.99/mo and both cost GBP 109.89 un año. For the same money the WordPress plan adds 5GB, 13 more daily backups, free SSL and a staging environment. Running one WordPress site? The plain plan is worse at an identical price.

WePanel Hosting

This range is different, and better in one way. There’s no introductory offer, so the price you see is the price you keep.

Inicio: GBP 14,99/mes (GBP 164.89/yr). 1 dominio, 50GB, 10 buzones, 1 vCPU, 512MB de RAM.

Profesional: GBP 20.99/mo (GBP 230.89/yr). 5 dominios, 300GB, 100 buzones, Acceso SSH.

Prima: GBP 25.99/mo (GBP 285.89/yr). Unlimited domains and space, 2 vCPU, 2048MB de RAM.

WePanel is the company’s own control panel rather than cPanel, the third-party panel most shared hosts use. Compare the tiers carefully, because they don’t line up. WePanel Starter costs GBP 1 a month more than Web Hosting Enthusiast for the same 50GB, and hosts one site not five.

Servidores

Three managed dedicated tiers are listed, all priced by quote, and the specifications are dated. The entry tier runs a 2019 Intel Xeon E-2224, the middle one a 2016 Xeon E5-2640 v4. VPS appears in the menu with no specifications and no price.

Nombres de dominio

Domains are where the review record gets angry, so the numbers matter. First-year price first, then the published standard rate:

• .co.uk: gratis, then GBP 13.99/yr (GBP 16.79 con IVA)
• .Reino Unido: GBP 3.99, then GBP 13.99/yr
• .con: GBP 1.99, then GBP 24.99/yr
• .Tienda: GBP 5.00, then GBP 96.99/yr, a 19.4x increase
• .tecnología: GBP 5.00, then GBP 77.99/yr, a 15.6x increase

The site’s own footer is clear: these offers are “for the first billing period only, do not apply to renewals”. The problem isn’t disclosure. It’s that a free .co.uk buys a customer who never checks year two.

Costos ocultos a tener en cuenta

• Transfer out: GBP 10 plus VAT to release a .uk domain, listado como “Tag Release”. Other extensions face a matching fee inside a 60-day window.
• SMTP autenticado: GBP 65.89 a year as an add-on, not included with email hosting.
• Website restore from backup: GBP 100. A single mailbox restore is GBP 30.
• Redención de dominio: GBP 75 to recover a lapsed .com, .red, .org, .biz or .info.
• SSL on the entry plan: no incluido. Every other tier gets it free.

Veredicto de precios

Are the renewal rates unfair? No precisamente. They’re mid-market for a UK host with UK support. The advertising is the problem. A jump of up to fourteenfold after 30 days is aggressive by any standard, and leaving costs money.

A documentation problem sits underneath it. The general terms name the published price list as the authority for renewal rates. That list carries no row for Beginner, Enthusiast, Pro, Pro-XL or any WordPress plan. It prices the WePanel range under retired names like “Alojamiento Premium (Limitless)”. The document your contract points to prices nothing on sale.

Un dato más. Sister brand LCN.com, run by the same registered company, sells an identical ladder. La misma libra esterlina 0.99, 1, 2 y 5 rise to the same GBP 9.99, 13.99, 18.99 y 32.99. Only the labels change.

names.co.uk Transparency Score

How upfront is the provider with what a buyer needs to know?

• Información de la empresa: Excelente. Registered name, número de empresa 03913408, VAT number, ICO registration and Worcester address are all published. The team.blue relationship is stated openly, which many group-owned brands hide.
• Transparencia de precios: Bueno, con un agujero. Renewal prices sit on the plan cards beside the promotional ones, que vence a la mayoría de los competidores. But the terms point to a price list carrying no row for any plan on sale.
• Documentación técnica: Bueno. The data centre page gives rack counts, generator ratings and power design. Server pricing is the gap: sólo cotización, with no VPS specifications.
• Términos y políticas: Limitado. The refund policy is honest but promises nothing. Uptime is where this breaks down: 99.999% on the hosting page, 99.9% on the WordPress page, and a contract that only excludes liability below 99%. That last figure allows about seven hours of downtime a month.

Transparencia general: Above average on identity, below average on commitments. You can learn exactly who you’re buying from, and not what you’re promised.

Alternatives to names.co.uk

If names.co.uk doesn’t fit, estos tres cubren sus huecos.

For a Real Refund Window: Krystal

This UK host publishes a 60-day money-back guarantee it calls “no-quibble refunds”. Shared plans start at GBP 7/mo with no first-month teaser. That’s the direct answer to a discretionary refund policy.

For Servers With Published Prices: Fasthosts

Fasthosts, also UK-based, lists its VPS range openly: 4 vCPU, 4GB RAM and 120GB NVMe at a GBP 9/mo standard rate. No quote required. Vea nuestro Guía VPS del Reino Unido para el campo más amplio.

For Domains at Cost: Registrador de Cloudflare

Cloudflare sells domains at wholesale cost with no renewal markup, and charges nothing to transfer a .uk domain away. It’s the alternative reviewers keep naming themselves. It doesn’t sell hosting, so pair it with a host from our Comparación de hosting barato en el Reino Unido.

Conclusión

Copiar este resultado

names.co.uk earns 4.3 fuera de 5 a través de 6,049 comentarios, and it earns that on support rather than value.

La línea de fondo

Buy it for the phone number and the UK data centre. Don’t buy it on the advertised price, which lasts 30 days before rising as much as fourteenfold. The split we measured says it plainly. Invited reviewers average 4.77 and unprompted ones 2.71, so your rating depends on whether anything went wrong.

It suits a UK small business that wants one supplier and one phone number. It’s a poor choice for a domain portfolio, for anyone needing a refund promise, or for anyone buying a server. Want the predictable version? Pick WePanel.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is names.co.uk good for beginners?

si, con una advertencia: precio. The free first-year domain, daily backups and UK phone support all suit a first website. But beginners are exactly who gets caught when a GBP 0.99 offer becomes GBP 9.99 in month two.

Is names.co.uk worth the price?

At renewal rates it’s mid-market. GBP 13.99/mo for 50GB and five sites is fair for UK support and UK servers. Paying yearly saves 8.3%, because a year costs eleven months.

¿De qué se quejan más los clientes??

Domain renewal prices, por un amplio margen. Second is the GBP 10 plus VAT fee to transfer a domain away. Third is a run of 2026 reports of domains suspended over verification emails that never arrived.

How does names.co.uk compare to LCN.com?

son la misma empresa. Both trade as Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited. Both sell four tiers at GBP 0.99, 1, 2 y 5, subiendo a GBP 9.99, 13.99, 18.99 y 32.99. Switching between them saves nothing.

Is names.co.uk good for WordPress?

Its WordPress range is better value than its plain hosting. WordPress Starter and Web Hosting Beginner both cost GBP 9.99/mo, but the WordPress plan adds 5GB, un certificado SSL gratis, 13 more daily backups and a staging environment. Don’t buy the plain plan for WordPress.

Does names.co.uk offer refunds?

No hay garantía de devolución de dinero. The published policy says refunds “are discretionary unless stated otherwise in our terms of business”. Each request is judged on its merits within 10 dias laborables. UK consumer law may still give you a cancellation window, but the company itself promises nothing.
