Beware Domain Name Poachers
10th January 2011We’ve noticed a recent rise in unsolicited third party emails informing clients they have a key Domain name for sale and asking them to respond to negotiate a price. Astonishingly these domains aren't even registered and should the client respond to this email, the third party will then quickly secure Domains and then re-sell them at an inflated price.
This practice is perfectly legal, but the emails are misleading and take advantage of the fact that some bigger brands find it difficult to maintain a complete view of their Domain portfolio.

Domain Markets Growing
6th January 2011Despite international economic difficulties in recent years, the market for global domain names continues to grow at 6% and .UK registrations has grown by 11.5%, so competition to secure a commercial domain portfolio is still fierce.
New annual .UK registrations were expected to hit two million for the first time by the end of 2010 with .UK replacing China’s .CN as the world’s second largest country code Top Level Domain Registry after .DE. Strengthening the UK’s global position in this way has to be viewed as a strong indicator of the growth that the UK Internet economy can expect in coming years.
We Smashed Our Children In Need Target!
23rd November 2010
Our target this year was to raise over £3,000 for the Children In Need appeal. We’re delighted to announce that we have absolutely smashed our target and raised a whopping £8,563!
.CO.NO Sunrise Now Open
23rd November 2010The new .CO.NO extension is aimed at international users who want their Internet addresses to end in "no", but with additional flexibility. While CO.NO is not meant to replace .No, it can however be a valuable alternative in some cases. If you are a holder of an International Trade mark, you could benefit from calling our Domain Name Management team to discuss how we can help manage your application.
Please note that the domain name will consist in the registration of a .CO.NO subdomain (xxxx.co.no) by CoDNS B.V., a private company totally independent from NORid, the official Authority for the Norvegian domain name extension “.NO”. NORid is therefore not responsible for the registration or the servicing of .CO.NO subdomains by CoDNS B.V.
.SO Domains Available Soon
23rd November 2010The .SO Domain for Somalia was re-launched as an unrestricted domain on 1 November 2010 starting with a Sunrise period.
The launch process takes place over 4 months before General Availability release in March 2011.
