    Nominet Members' Festive Dinner - Anyone Want To Meetup Beforehand?

    Hopefully Turkey, Brussel spouts, stuffing and gravy; seriously though, the dinners typically don't feature 'topics' per se, its more of a networking dinner with a few announcements from Nominet. Highly recommended.

    Nominet Members' Festive Dinner - Anyone Want To Meetup Beforehand?

    There’s just one week to go until the Nominet Members’ Festive Dinner, which takes place at the iconic Tower of London on Wednesday 19th November 2025. Is anyone going? If so, would be great to meet up and talk domains. I'll be staying at the The Tower Hotel, by Thistle close by the event, a...

    You Made These 10 Years Unforgettable. Thank You.

    Today marks my final day at Bodis, and as I reflect on the past 10 years, I do so with immense pride and gratitude. Looking back at my time here, I can confidently say that, together with our incredible team and clients, we built the largest, and dare I say it, best parking platform in the...

    Domain Name Selling Support

    My condolences Julia. To echo Foz's comments above, sell to other domainers and likely you will be selling at wholesale prices. That's fine for some of the domains, but you should certainly separate out the premium domains before selling them for peanuts and get a 3rd or even 4th opinion on...

    Anyone here going to this that fancies meeting up for a few drinks before hand let me know. I'll be flying in for this and I'll be around from mid-day. Hopefully see some of you there! James

    "I'm Bard, a large..." - Business Rigor or Community Warmth? Your Input Needed

    I'm here, alive and kicking. Thanks for your concern @rob :) I do actually visit regularly, but rather as a guest as I watch certain threads and so therefore get email alerts. As people seem to be concerned about my personal welfare here, ill be sure to login from now on ;) As for Helmut's...

    Domain Summit Update on Summit

    @Helmuts I have never met you, but I feel you need to be more realistic in your pricing. You can become a leading sponsor at Namescon for around 20k and they have packages with booths etc. for around 10k and for as little as a couple of K. Namescon attracts circa 1k attendees and I certainly...

    Nominet New domain expiry process and droplists for .uk

    And as far as proof of ID. Don’t know about you, but half of these world class dropcatchers. Don’t know anyone that’s either met or spoken to them in over 20 years in the industry.

    Nominet New domain expiry process and droplists for .uk

    I agree with you pedigree. If Nominet were to revoke those domains that were found to be unlawfully registered or at the very least suspend members for a significant period of time … there’s absolutely no deterrent at the moment. Moneys money to Nominet. Doesn’t matter to them who catches what.

    Nominet New domain expiry process and droplists for .uk

    Wether we use the old or new drop mechanism, whilst those that game the system go unpunished it’s immaterial what we think. Nominet need to act to show they are serious about restoring the memberships trust. I want to see: An exhaustive list of actions that can be taken against members when...
