I've had 4 domains since around 2000 originally with Freeparking.
Various moves and mergers left me with names.co.uk.
I've just had a renewal notice for November so it seems a good time to
hunt around for a better deal.
Any recommendations?
At the moment I'm only using email redirect.

I've been happy with Ionos (1and1) for years.

Well, Mythic Beasts charges £6 a year for hosting a domain.
NamesCo charges £18.99 for hosting + email forwarding.
Haven't worked out yet how much extra it is for MB to forward email, but unlikely to be £13 a year.
I'm starting the process of transferring.
9 days left, so should just be time.

As far as I can make out (from their website) they charge £6 a year for registration of a .co, .co.uk or .org.uk registration and maintaining a
DNS entry. All other TLDs cost at least double that.
Their cheapest "Email only" hosting will cost you £1.67 a month on top
of that although "Redirection only" is only £1 a month. Its not clear whether the redirection is for web or email or both.
Their cheapest (proper) web hosting product (Web 25) is another £2.50
per month.
As you say ... "unlikely to be £13 a year" - but it is at least an
extra £12 a year.
Is there a domain transfer fee to be paid to your existing provider ?

Liquidsix charges £6.99 a year for a .co.uk (plus VAT). I couldn't recommend
them more highly, for reliability, facilities and above all the quality of the
support.

Thats just for the domain registration - how much extra do you pay for
email ?

They only offer Windows-based hosting, though, which will suit some
people but not others, and tends to cost more than Linux-based hosting.
You have to really want to use ASP.Net and the like to prefer Windows
for hosting. The vast majority of personal websites use HTML/CSS and
maybe PHP or Wordpress, none of which requires Windows.
If I were looking for a hosting company I'd be looking for one that had UK-based datacentres, supported IPv6, provided SSL support at no extra
cost (themselves, not through a CDN), supported SPF and DKIM on mail,
and maybe offered a decent SLA (though that tends to cost). These are
the things that indicate a well though-out high-quality service.
Do LiquidSix do those things? It's hard to tell from a quick look at
their website ... which suggests that their priorities are in the wrong place.
