Nominet Delete Domain Question

[dee]

Quick question for the tag holders please. Just getting up and running with my tag and wondered what the deal is with deleting domains. For example, reg'd a test domain via an external server to see if system works. I have since deleted that domain .WIll I get charged ? I seem to remember if you delete within 7 days you dont get charged. Is that the case.?

You can delete but only a % of your domains - limit is 5 domains or 5% of your total amount. This is to stop domain 'tasting'. You don't get charged for those domains provided the deletion is done before 6th or 7th of each month (I forget which). After that you can still delete but you don't get a refund.

You can delete up to the 6th of the month after registration and not get charged, providing you delete no more than 5 domains, or 5% of your portfolio, which ever is higher.

thanks all

Is that 5 domains per month, so 60 per year ?

Cheers

I had emailed them and got this


That is correct. If you register a domain name in error, you should be able to delete it before the invoice is raised and not be charged for it.

The limit for deleting domain names is 5 of 5% of the total number of domain names on your tag per month, whichever is the higher figure.

Think was meant to be "5 or 5%" not "of"

Yep, or 5% of your portfolio, whichever is more. You can delete more than 5 per month, but you will be billed for any over and above your allowance.
