Wanted: Domain Appraisal Appraisal: level.co.uk

[generic]

level.co.uk

Any ideas for the value of this domain name?

As a first post I think it would have been better to introduce yourself and participate in the forum before asking for an appraisal. Nice domain though.

Oh, sorry about that, I thought I was participating by posting.
I've never sold a domain before so I'm a n00b here, not sure what I can contribute and was just trying to see what's what. I own a few domains but not for buying and selling usually.

I'm wondering if it's worth targeting some big companies with level in their name to see if they're interested as there's quite a few e.g. level vodka, level snowboard gloves. Is it too early to ask about this kind of thing?

According to the whois, you live at webfusions head office, If thats not correct then you need to get it sorted or you may have issues transferring this to someone else.

Yeah, not a problem really, just didn't want stalkers at my front door.

I'd agree that level.co.uk is a good generic name, but in the light of recent DRS decisions I would advise against offering it to well known brands who almost certainly hold Trade Marks on the name.

Sounds heavy. Would you have a link to a story about that pls?

Care to explain why this is so important?

Stalkers at the front door... whatever next

What other domains do you own Mr Level.

 

[fred]

Care to explain why this is so important?

1) Incorrect registrant name & address is in breech of Nominet's Terms and Conditions and as such, could get your domain cancelled.

2) Any DRS complaint made would be sent to that address, meaning you may not get the chance to defend your domain

3) If you try to sell the domain, the legal registrant has to sign the forms, which will be difficult if it doesn't actually exist

any more anyone?

Care to explain why this is so important?

Because these records are legally binding! If they are incorrect you stand a good chance of loosing your name...

Don't forget that if you don't want your details listed in the whois then you can simply opt out - The details for the domain will still be kept by Nominet but the public facing database will not show any information apart from the registrant name.

hi generic... if you are on the level about this domain and how you have stored it, we suggest you PM some senior AD members for advice instead of posting public... the zone history on the DN you are asking for $ on is not valid, thus you are not the legal owner, as stated by grantw, you will struggle to retain ownership from almost anyone, who has IP or TM on anything "level" if you are worried re: "dn stalkers" then use an offshore registrar or trust (PM for details) then you do not have to worry what the "police state" run UK nic have as info for your investment...

Using an "offshore registrar" would do absolutly nothing The domain registration details are either correct, or they are not. If the domain is registered to anyone other than you (or your own company etc) you do not 'own' it.

If you are worried about your address being on there, you can use the whois opt out (for non-trading use) or use a mail forwarding service.

erh nothing fred... but exactly what some investors want... privacy! most DN's used of any value are not "non-trading" use so opting out is worthless... using an offshore registrar offering "decent" privacy registration details allows this, also nominee managers are allowed "offshore" unlike the nom T&C... e.g www.therichjerk.com

Please explain to me how registering a uk domain with a registrar in, say, the USA is going to provide any different privacy to using a UK registrar?

no body mentioned the usa? we are usa and we use offshore nominees... nothing sinister and easy to admin... a service that is starting to gather pace due to the amount of "private" information online... another little ditty that is cool is the "revolving email script" for owner / tech details... this is great for no s.pam or j.unk mail offers via "buyers" who mine the data online...

anyway... back to value... generic IF you own this DN and wish to sell it or have an idea of development please PM us...

You are missing the point YOU said using an offshore registrar would give increased privacy. Changing the registrar from a UK to ANY other country will NOT change privacy!

There are 2 aspects to the registration details on the whois, Name & Address. As I have previously pointed out, if it is not in your name, you do not own the domain, simple as that. There are ways around having your address displayed as I pointed out, like using a mail forwarding service.

Not an issue with UK domains though is it

frankly gosh batman snuff drill

>>> who said that the registrar is not uk based and offshore owned? using an offshore registrar, under nominee management is the the perfect way to manage privacy... e.g kev ham... private domainer until last year... trust nominee held names, never s.pammed once... we, others, aged dnr's, have never had problems 1) proving ownership 2) breaking nom T&C 3) selling / brokering "private" trust names...

As I have previously pointed out, if it is not in your name, you do not own the domain, simple as that >>>> you (as a person) do not need to own the DN on paper if you are a nominee... There are ways around having your address displayed as I pointed out, like using a mail forwarding service. >>> yes lots of uk / europeans owners use this method... so good tip

no it is not unless someone helpful provides the emails to them in bulk at a price :???:
