    Saw this in my neighbourhood which made me happy – cambridgefibre.uk and they redirect the .co.uk Local business, local registrar, local hosting 👍

    Nominet Consultation opens on significant changes to .UK registry systems

    There are no such thing as dumb questions, only dumb answers ;) They are not proposing these changes because the existing system is wrong or broken, but in order to standardise and have consistency across different platforms they operate. In my view, the "pull" system is more familiar and makes...

    Nominet Consultation opens on significant changes to .UK registry systems

    These are significant changes to the .uk registry and I would urge anyone who is a Nominet registrar to have a close read and respond to the consultation. Even if you are non-technical and think you don't know or care what EPP is and does, you will still be impacted by this one way or another...

    Domainlore "previously sold for"

    That's what I said... I guess @seemly could tweak his code to crawl the DL history page after each auction and store the link with the auction_id for each sale. Currently the "View Sales Page" links for all these sales are actually the same link and point only to the latest auction on DL...

    Nominet Nominet named .gov.uk registry operator

    Agree. One would naturally think that .gov.uk and .ac.uk are just another extension of Nominet, like .co.uk or .org.uk But these are in fact independently managed.

    Domainlore "previously sold for"

    When there is no auction running, this page will show a history of the domain with links to past auctions using the auction_id url: Eg: https://domainlore.uk/domain/elevate.uk

    Domainlore "previously sold for"

    There is precedent Maybe it's also because while an auction is ongoing, the DL history page is not available (redirect to the auction page). Eg: https://domainlore.uk/domain/superfast-openreach.co.uk

    Build own dropcatching software

    You need to double check that code, I remember it had a non-standard epp implementation which Nominet's servers tolerate but is not ideal. It also used the DAC for domain checks which is no longer useful and ads unnecessary complexity. Everything can be done with epp nowadays. But it is a good...

    Discreet.co.uk and uk

    That is the tag that first registered the domain: "events": [ { "eventAction": "registration", "eventActor": "TAGNAME", "eventDate": "2006-06-01T17:34:21Z" } ...it is not the current owner or registrar. See rdap.uk/?type=domain&object=Discreet.co.uk for a clearer display...

    Build own dropcatching software

    It's worth clarifying that multiple tags mean multiple registrar tags under the same account/membership and not multiple accounts/memberships. See the AUP policy about linking multiple accounts. Tag and membership are often used interchangeably, sometimes even by Nominet staff.

    Registrar put domains in "Registrar Investigation Lock"

    Check the domains in rdap.uk If they don't have server transfer prohibited or client transfer prohibited status codes then you can use Nominet's transfer service and transfer them to a different registrar. It costs £10+vat for the entire batch of domains. If the domains have server transfer...

    bdi.co.uk (1,378 GBP)

    I don't really get the point of these automated posts... They add no value and just clutter the space, detracting from the important stuff. In a busy DL day, the New Threads section can be full of with these. Surely all users here know about DomainSalesHistory.uk
