What people say about 123 Reg
We read what 123 Reg's customers and review sites say, and sum it up in our own words: what people like, what they don't, and who it suits. Our score is the customer score, worked out from public ratings. We don't test hosts ourselves.

“Affiliate-funded” means the site earns commission from hosts it reviews. “Published test data” means it publishes the measurements behind its verdict. Scores and ranks are shown as each site displays them; pros and cons are summarised in our own words. How we choose sources
Separate from the experts' score
What customers say
We show a customer score once we have ratings from at least 2 platforms and 100 reviews in total.
| Platform | Rating shown | Out of 10 | Reviews | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source 7: Reviews.io (opens in a new tab)Checked after the score was last worked out | 3.3 out of 5 | 6.6 | 3 | 4 Nov 2026 |
- Find 123 Reg on HostAdvice (opens in a new tab)
- Find 123 Reg on SmartCustomer (formerly Sitejabber) (opens in a new tab)
- Find 123 Reg on Trustpilot (opens in a new tab)
We don't check whether these reviews come from real customers. Each platform runs its own checks, and some let hosts invite reviews, which can push ratings up. Customer ratings never change the experts' score, and commission never changes either.
