Where 123 Reg is ahead

  • If you prepay 3 years and don't keep the SSL, Economy costs less over those 3 years.
  • A free domain for the first year. Brixly doesn't bundle one.
  • Its higher tiers (Deluxe and above) include free SSL too, so SSL isn't an advantage against those plans.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is 123 Reg cheaper than Brixly?

Sometimes. If you prepay 3 years of 123 Reg web hosting, the upfront price is lower. Its renewal prices are higher than ours, and its VPS plans cost less per spec. We show both sides above so you can decide.

Is Brixly a good 123 Reg alternative?

It depends what matters to you. If you’d rather pay monthly with no minimum term, talk to a UK team and deal with a host run by its founders, Brixly is a strong 123 Reg alternative. When you compare 123 Reg alternatives, look past the upfront price to the renewal price, the term you’re signing up to and what’s included. If the lowest upfront price matters most and you’re happy to prepay for 3 years, 123 Reg can cost less over that term.

How do I migrate away from 123 Reg?

Pick a plan, then ask our Migration Centre to move you. 123 Reg web hosting runs on cPanel, so we can move your files, databases and email for free on accounts under 30GB, and our team moves larger accounts for free too. Then point your domain at us, or transfer it whenever you like.

What happens after my £1 month?

Your plan continues at its normal monthly price, for example £3.95 ex VAT for Infinity. There’s no minimum term, and you have 30 days to ask for your money back.

What happens after my 50% off month?
