Hi all 
Following Saturday’s announcement (see: https://www.acorndomains.co.uk/threads/added-new-badges-claim-you-nominet-member-badges-here.186778/), we’ve added 7 industry badges plus a separate set of ISO certification badges to help serious buyers and sellers spot who’s who at a glance.
Industry badges
ISO badges (for certified organisations)
These are rare in domaining/hosting and very costly to obtain and maintain. If you have them, show them—your security, quality and continuity posture matters to buyers.
Why to add these?
Short version: trust + speed. Badges surface your credentials on every post and profile, helping daily new Acorn Domains visitors (readong both new and old Acorn posts) quickly assess and learn who they’re dealing with, whose content has more weight and helping you close deals faster.
How to claim
We’ll verify and add the badge(s) to your profile.
and now, show off your badges!!

p.s. Some members will look like decorated war veterans - and that’s the point. If a business has invested serious time and money into certifications, they deserve the recognition.
