Darn right. I challenged my current hosting company about this just last

week. I already pay for hosting, and all I wanted was a couple of new

domains mapped to the same space. All they were prepared to quote me was £80

+ VAT per .co.uk domain, saying the fee included hosting, mail forwarding,

blah blah.


When I pointed out I didn't _need_ those extras, I just wanted the domains;

and furthermore I could get 'em cheaper elsewhere (eg The Name

http://www.thename.co.uk), the company fell curiously silent.
