The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

[Lovekraft]

Did 123-Reg manage to catch anything? I had some ordered with them and haven't seen their tag crop up in any checks for domain I was and wasn't chasing.

 

[Nigel]

just got an email from godaddy saying I have been allocated the domain that was free to reg. Also got one other domain that I preregistered and I have one that has gone to auction. These weren't premium domains and the best of the three is the one that has gone to Godaddy auction.

Had some customer results in using our software

20 premiums caugt out or 60
15 premiums caught of out 200

Best settings seem to be :
DAC1 on each instance (max 4)
hours left set to 0.6 (0ms) on each

The DAC wont block because the EPP gets throttled before that happens
Most choose the T drop character so they can start the script seconds before the release.

Good results so far.

Impressive! I'm not even using the DAC in any real capacity, just a quick check before getting ready to fire...

same for most of the customers I think, they set for 0ms between, but the dac loop is however used to clear the main list of thosed already renewed but not caught, so that if the list is looped, ones that renewed arnt pushed back into the queue and waste epp hits, same for those caught, pushed into a different list.

bgh.uk
bpe.uk
aot.uk

Great - many thanks!

I wish all of you the best of luck. In my opinion .UK is a complete flop, that's why I didn't bother even participating. I hope you all prove me wrong.

 

[WHM]

I got to agree. I feel like the vast majority of domains posted so far are just worthless. There are a handful of 'good' domains from some more of the experienced people here but they're what I call 'sucker domains' - The person that registered them will make a little bit of money buy selling them to a sucker that think '.uk' domains are really valuable.

I did a little poll today on a forum I run which 95% of the users are UK based. The question was 'Which domain extension do most associate with a UK operated business/entity"

Example.com - 32 votes
Example.co.uk - 103 votes
Example.org - 4 votes
Example.net - 9 votes
Example.uk - 5 votes

90%+ of the domains registered today won't be worth the fee. I suspect that's why nom allowed all their buddies to reg the ones they had for free, a decent amount will probably drop next year.

Here we go again.....

 

[twostepsbehind]

It's all about the public's perception and what looks digestable to the eye..

As an end user I would prefer manchester.uk over manchester.com or manchester.co.uk - it just looks better and more trustworthy

But right now, what looks better and with greater authority and trust: rightmove.co.uk or rightmove.uk? As a domainer, I'd say the latter, and I believe the public will arrive at this opinion soon as well, a couple of years

Also, worth noting 99% of domains dropping were originally registered as .co.uk and most of the registrants didn't think the .uk was worth the another £5...

I hope you can afford the renewal fees that long!

You could say that about all the premium domains that haven't been renewed in the past 20 years or so; it's more about not knowing than not thinking it's worth £5

Anyway, this thread is for who got what, not about debating its merits or lack thereof, should start a new thread about that or go back and read all the old ones
