Drop Dates for your domain will be either 20-Apr-2007 or 27-Apr-2007

Sorry for the newbie question but why do .uk domains have two drop dates?

I know that there's two dates - but why?

 

[retired_member16]

Pre-nom - 92

Anything converted from Pre-Nom - 92

Pre-nom - 92

Anything converted from Pre-Nom - 92

So therefore most domains dropping are 99 days, yes?

Correct. 98% do drop at 99 days.

(I made that stat up, but I guess its not far wrong)

If a name is registered directly with nom or detagged you get a week less. Theres no prenoms left.. and when there was they dropped pretty much manual when the button pusher came out, apart from a spell of about 4 months after xmas 2006 when they dropped like clockwork.

Are you sure - I thought Jay Daley flipped a coin for each one? :twisted:

Yes if it says "No agent listed" in the whois then it will drop on 92 days.

Pre-noms don't drop on 92 days they drop any time Nominet decides to release them. See ani.co.uk

I have noticed a few more pre-noms recently: http://www.deleting.co.uk/deleting/...=250&submit=Search&formtype=advanced&search=1

I suppose if you think about it depending on how many domains were registered with Nominet before Aug 1996 and how many people forget to renew them in the months/years to come there will always be prenom drops?

They are pre-noms but not as pre-nom as they used to be All remaining pre-noms now have renewal date data in them meaning that they drop at the set times with all the other domains.

The old style prenoms were those with no 'contract' with nominet i.e those registered before xx-1996 and not renewed, or would not renew (ie new Nominet cntract).

Those with the registered on date now abide by the Nominet 2yr renewal date as well as the policy/procedure.

By the nature of renewals some will trickle through, but not the prenom landrush of before. They've all gone... mostly do the same people, for the reasons all here know.
