This sort of does it, can put in .co.uk/.org.uk domains and will tell you the registration rights for the domain, or the tag of the domain the .uk is registered to. I'll get round to adding it to the normal whois checker at some point over the next week or so.

Just trying drop.co.uk one now but what i did was make a test list which was
confirmation.co.uk
confirmation.uk
foraging.co.uk
foraging.uk
Ackerman.co.uk
Ackerman.uk
sata.co.uk
sata.uk
and get this error from Arrons system
Warning! 4 domain has been removed from the list as they are not .uk domains.

Yeah so they show as suspended or something then available when avaiable
Hey i just noyiced using grants whois that there is a member on here just grabbing .uk to the co.uk thats have been registered by ordanary members of the public/businesses.
Good tactic maybe?

100% generic domains, or not?
If the former, then maybe. It's exploiting a "knowledge gap" but there's at least a secondary logic to it (generics can be valuable in and of themselves)
If not, then that sounds like cybersquatting (even if a domain is 1 minute old, if it's not at all generic then there's no earthly reason to register the matching .uk except to extort the .co.uk owner)

Hi Sean,
The whoIS checker I linked only lets you check .co.uk and .org.uk to show you the right of registration for .uk or if the .uk is registered at the moment. Will try and get it sorted this week.
You could just scan with the DAC?

That aswell, but i thought by having one list co.uk and one list .uk i could do some comparing its just none of the bulk whois can do this yet.
It looks like a mixture to me i saw the co.uk drop and someone women got it then an hour later this forum member got the .uk
Thanks Aaron, would be great if you could update ? i think others would find it usefull aswell, we dont need to know who has rights of the registration the same day its going to drop as them rights dont apply when it drops?
