The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

[RobM]

If your domain is available after a minute doesn't that mean you could get it in the minute before that? You'd also have the satisfaction of thinking you beat other people to it

 

[DavH]

Ahh well that's good it worked out for him

I'm jealous of everyone getting their names

Thanks for all your help guys. Really pleased I managed to get hold of it!

Just register it, no specific link, it worked for me.

I have deleted too many, Nominet has hit me with the whole "5%" thing. Guess I'll have to register more domains lol.

I remember hearing about this ages ago.

Are you only allowed to delete up to 5% domains without a charge?
Also is there a time limit to delete?

I just hand regged carbulbs from bed, shows there are some nice ones being missed.

An industry I previously worked with and have contacts in.

As far as I understand it, you can delete up to 5% of your registrations before you get invoiced for them.

Use of the delete and investigation lock operations

The instructions for use of the delete and investigation lock operations clearly state their intended use. Any other use of these commands is misuse and may lead to blocking and/or having the commands selectively blocked, disabled or withdrawn.

In order to protect our systems we impose a limit on the sum total of delete and investigation lock operations on new registrations. The delete and investigation lock operations are limited to 5 or 5% of uninvoiced registrations, whichever is higher, within the following effective period:

• From the 1st of the month to the 7th of the month, the limits are calculated back to the beginning of the previous month.
• From the 8th of the month to the end of the month, the limits are calculated back to the beginning of the same month. (This means domain names deleted or locked between the 1st and 7th are counted in two consecutive months)

If this limit is exceeded, the delete and investigation lock operations are automatically disabled for new registrations on that tag. These operations will remain disabled until:

• the registrar has registered enough domain names to permit further operations under the 5% limit or
• midnight on the 7th of the following month when the limit is automatically reset.

If you need to delete or lock more domain names than the limit allows, then please contact us at [email protected].
