Seriously, 1 pound per .com when everyone else is selling for $8-12? Is there something I'm missing? Or is this just predatory pricing?

Fork I am sorry about your experience but you cannot go around generalizing like that when many around the globe have had no issues opening accounts.

Your customers' accounts must have been flagged as support told me ( quoted their reply in my previous post )..how about you ask FH what triggers their flagging? Maybe you can avoid it next time.
Or simply wait 60 days so you can transfer out.

Really we cannot expect perfection when paying 1 pound per name..especially when bigger and more famous registrars mess up the same and worse.

It's not about one buyer I lost two deals in similar fashion. yes, your right if you can wait 60 days to transfer it out I find it worthy. if you want to sell 60 days before registration to an end user I would say just ignore fast host in my experience.

Just go back to them
After 60 days, and offer them 10 percent off, and move it out. They will jump

Domain.com had a similar offer exactly one year ago- up to 50 domains at $1 each, and right now in another window I'm looking at about $550 bucks in renewals if I renew them all.
(I have heard that transferring away from Fasthosts was not a problem)

I recently transferred a domain away from fasthosts and it was completed in just 6 hrs.

Got an account and registered 3 domains yesterday. The phone verification was smooth, Craig just checked the same info provided at the registration, nothing special. Registration was also very simple, without any problems. Yes, there are some specific steps/actions, but nothing special, just a couple of minutes to read the messages and understand how it works.

Generally speaking, I'm satisfied with them.

Sounds interesting. Where can I list domains from Fasthost? Do they have an official auction site or anything?

No, they don't.
