    Nominet Nominet Members’ Summer Social - July 15, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    I previously ran an agency and private registrar for our clients. I now have a small personal portfolio, develop the occasional site, and enjoy advisory and board work. But the day job is running the digital at Majestic (the national wine retailer, not the SEO tool 😉)

    What is the difference of Nominet Members and Nominet Registrars?

    Thanks for clarifying.

    What is the difference of Nominet Members and Nominet Registrars?

    Member is a statutory status. Nominet is a company limited by guarantee - it has no shareholders, just members. In contrast, Registrar is a contractual relationship. You happen to have to be a member to enter that contract.

    Domain Incite Squarespace gets sweetened $7.2 billion takeover offer

    I visited the Squarespace offices in 2014 and met Anthony Casalena. At the time they were completely rebuilding the Squarespace platform, including changing the codebase, which was commented at the time as being an extreme and unusual move. It evidentially paid off. Always nice to hear...

    UK domain values are low because we stockpile good names which causes businesses to use inferior names but they don't care and prosper regardless

    I think there are a lot of variables here. Considering the point that 'values are low', I'd question relative to what? In a UK context vs larger countires and global, there are fewer potential users of a .uk domain, fewer customers for businesses using them vs a global market and businesses have...

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Thanks for the offer. We managed to regain access today. Your offer was very much appreciated and would have been the fallback, but we managed to make some headway just before Christmas and finally got through today. It included digging out old property leases and accounts from 1992 as...

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Thanks @Helmuts Also want to shout out @NetFocus who has provided proof that we are the registrant (albeit an old office address) and helped us pick up the trail that the original company we transacted with had been acquired, then that company acquired again, with Joker.com being the registrar...

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Gone full circle again via standard support routes. Does anyone know anyone at joker.com for a more personal conversation?

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Thanks. Not a lot. I think they were acquired by GTT because that's where the trail ends, but GTT claim they have no record.

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Last renewed 10 years ago. Coming up for expiry this month, though that is coincidence. Director knew they owned it, agreed to start using it, then realised no one had access. Will suggest catchall email to their IT team, thanks.

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    I've gone back to the registrar outlining that we've not been able to progress with the reseller they referred us to. I've asked what their dispute resolution process is in light of the steps. Let's see if they can confirm a process or refer us to ICANN.

    How can I track down lost access to a .com?

    Going round in circles a bit so any advice welcome. I am helping a client that believes they own a .com registered 10+ years ago. The WHOIS states their business name, but all other info private. The people who would have registered left the company years ago and not contactable. The registrar...

    Nominet Nominet named .gov.uk registry operator

    @Whois-Search kindly navigated me through the convoluted process of registering a .gov.uk when I built a website for my local Parish Council. Hopefully Nominet can streamline.
