Transferring website & email addresses to zero cost options???

Well what do you pay now for hosting?

12 months domain name plus hosting = £144.  Not a fortune I know but  .... 

You can look into parking your domain name INFO ,or your other option would be to move it to a really cheap hosting, you can get really cheap places where it would cost you around £3.25 per month to host your website..

Although if you are really intent on retiring (lucky you ) and don't really want the website I would put the domain up for sale as it may be worth something to someone. I know you said you don't want to sell.. I suppose it's a difficult question as I will not sell my domain at any cost 

Eek, yeah that's a lot for a standard brochure site. I only charge £60 a year for hosting (my customers renew their domains themselves at £8.38 for 2 years with 123-Reg.

Vidahost are cheap too. Depends really what you want from a provider.

Yup agree with Indizine, does seem like you are paying over the odds.

If you just want simple tick over mode, you can get some basic hosting from between £50 and £60 per year. Ezpz hosting are another alternative, cheap and cheerful. 

I use a mix of 123-reg and uk2.net for hosting. UK2.net shows your domain as £7.99 per year, normally gets cheaper if you renew for 2,3 years etc.

Who ever you go with, it will be a lot cheaper than you are paying now
