Domain name parking

[yorkshirelad1]

I'm looking for a basic, no frills, competitively priced provider to park two or three domains (all .co.uk). Two of the domains can probably just sit (organisations no longer operating, but I don't want to let the domain name registration lapse for a few years yet in case some character picks them up when they lapse and divert them somewhere undesirable: this seems a popular activity) and one domain may need forwarding to a current website.

The going rate seems to be around £7-£10/yr for a .co.uk domain. Ionos seems to be popular, as well as tsohosts. I've seen the posting (Cheap Domain renewal https://lemonfool.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22116&hilit=domain). Becuase two of the domains probably won't be doing much, I'd like to try and keep the costs down.

Just seeing what else might be out there and what other people think/recommend.
Thanks

This probably gives the most exhaustive list of registrars

I've been using names.co.uk for a while for hosting and domains, and their service is good IMHO. Having looked around at the favourable alternatives, it turns out namesco are comparable/competitively priced for domain parking.

Names.co.uk often have cheap new domain introductory prices -- I got a .co.uk and a .uk earlier this year from them for free (I see they're £1.20 now).

However their renewal prices are not that great. £14.99+VAT for 1 year for the .co.uk (dropping to £89.99+VAT for 10 years), and £13.99+VAT for 1 year for the .uk (£69.99+VAT for 10 years).

Note that those are notably higher than the "full" prices shown for them on their site (£9.59/£8.39) that's crossed out and £1.20 shown besides, and it is, unfortunately, far from unusual for domain shops to only show you the "new" prices (discounted or not) and not the renewal prices.

(As it happens I won't be renewing that .co.uk and .uk as I only needed them for a little while, for testing purposes.)
