The co.uk country code domain currently offers a single registration period – 2 years. Starting from May of next year the registry will be offering the more “standard” registration periods of 1 to 10 years What does this mean? It means that you’ll be able to register (and renew) your *.uk domain names for up [...]

We’re Off To TRAFFIC Milan (As Long As We Can Get There!)
Next week I’m hoping to be in Milan, Italy, for TRAFFIC ccTLDs. (I’m still not 100% confident that flights will be running .. ) The event, which runs over 3 days, is aimed at domain investors and people interested in finding out more about the ccTLD domain world. While there are only about 20 gTLDs [...]
Want A Deal?
Are you looking for a deal? Then maybe you’ve come to the right place! In the runup to Christmas 2009 we’re going to be doing a number of extra special offers and discounts. As already announced, we’re doing some random offers throughout the day and night via Twitter and Facebook. We’ll be adding to those [...]
A Busy Few Weeks
Over the last few weeks we’ve been working hard on launching a bunch of domain extensions on our own accreditation. While the main focus of our attention has been on getting the more popular domain extensions up and running (ie. com / net / org / info / biz / mobi etc.,) we’ve also ended [...]
Co.uk Registry Takes Action Against Phishing
The co.uk registry operator, Nominet, has enabled a new feature to help fight phishing and other domain abuse. The new “Phishing Lock” enables registrars, such as ourselves, to lockdown domains suspected of abusive use eg. phishing etc., A domain may now be marked as being used in abusive activities and completely locked down to prevent [...]
Blacknight Now ICANN Accredited
We are delighted to be able to tell the world that we are now an ICANN accredited registrar! I’ve been attending ICANN events and trying to get to grips with the entire setup for the last couple of years and quickly realised that the only way we could really move forward was to become accredited. [...]
Camera.co.uk Sells For 35k
I’ve mentioned TRAFFIC Down Under a couple of times over the last few weeks – mainly because I wish I was there! (More on my personal domain blog admittedly!) Yesterday’s main event was the Aftermarket.com auction which you could have followed live online. Why do I mention it? Well unlike a lot of the other [...]
IDNs Coming To A Domain Near You?
There are several “hot” topics in the domain world at the moment. The introduction of new gTLDs, which I have touched on, is one, while the introduction of IDN (internationalised domain names) is another. For most of this site’s readers IDN isn’t that important. Most of our clients, with some exceptions, are English speakers. Of [...]
Don’t Get Ripped Off When You Want To Change Registrar
I’m a very strong believer in letting people move their domains and hosting around as much as they want. Unfortunately some people do not share my philosophy and prefer to hold their registrants to ransom. While I’ve already written about .ie domain transfers and those of .com, I hadn’t gone into much detail on co.uk [...]
Currency Markets and Internet Business
I’ve never been “into” Wall Street, currency markets or any of that kind of stuff. Sure, I read The Sunday Business Post, Time and Fortune magazine, but that’s about the extent of it. However, even if I’ve never been that interested in currency markets I’ve always been very conscious of currency rates’ impact on our [...]
Nominet – Over 7 Million Names Registered
Nominet, of which we are members, announced a few days ago that they had passed the 7 million domain mark. While that figure alone is impressive, it’s even more impressive when you consider that they only hit the 6 million mark in 2007! The strong growth in registrations in the UK namespace is interesting to [...]
