If you have registered a UK domain with us, or transferred your existing domain to us, then you might receive an email from us asking you to confirm your contact details. First off this is not a scam! We are working with Nominet, the UK domain registry, to improve the quality of data related to [...]

Become At One With Your UK Domain
As of today you can register OR renew UK domain names for up to 10 years! So if you have your .com, .eu, .me or .co domain name already registered for a full 10 year period you can now do the same with your co.uk. I’m a strong believer in “eating our own dogfood”, so [...]

Register Or Renew A UK Domain And Maybe Win An IPad
Everyone loves iPads. You’d probably be lying if you said otherwise! So here’s a really nice promotion from our friends at Nominet, the .uk domain name registry. If you register OR renew a .uk domain name between now and 26th April 2012 and you could win an iPad. They’re giving away an iPad each day [...]
Co.uk Registry To Offer Multi-year Registrations
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 [...]
