    RE: Nom Systems Upgrade!

    The term "chomp" springs to mind. Its OK to expect us not to add extra spaces or lines, but I don't think its unreasonable to expect them to accommodate that as stripping out spaces is a standard thing done in most programs that take input from users. The DAC being unavailable for so long is...

    .uk registry maintenance

    I didn't see that on their web site when I looked. We use the Tucows fastlookup which is now showing all .uk domains as available, probably due to the DAC being down. Not good at all for obvious reasons. How many times can we sell sex.uk in one evening? My record was 7 up till now during...

    Selling a domain name - worries

    Well there may be related trade marks. I have been unable to register my company name as a trademark because I was advised that it could provoke another large company with a similar mark to try and force us to change our business name or they might offer to buy us for a token amount rather...

    Nominet PGP emails & mobility

    Put a script on a web server that looks like a webmail interface but just sends to the automaton addresses and signs the emails for you. Then you can access it from any web enabled device.. That would work provided you could password protect it.

    Paperless Transfers

    Or just let the tag holders change the registrant field like they do for .com's. I stood for the PAB on that platform a couple of years ago and got nowhere....

    UK2 Major Change...

    We got round the dictionary spam problem by turning off the catch all email for all new domains registered after 1st Jan. Customers can still turn it on if they want it. We had to leave it turned on for all previous domains to keep domains functioning. We find a lot of brand new domains get...

    Selling a domain name - worries

    I have been in the domain business since the last century but not selling "used" domains apart from one instance where I sold a domain to an organisation for a reasonable sum of money because I had no further use for it. I am now in a similar situation with a name I am not needing but which...
