Would you register .Wales and .Cymru domain names ?

[TotalWeb]

A quick poll to gauge how many Wales based businesses would look to register the new .Wales and .Cymru domain names (currently in Landrush until Feb 25th then open sale from 1st March) either to forward to their existing website/email or set up as new ?

Did anyone else register any .wales domains during the launch today?

TotalWeb Solutions picked up campsites.wales for me - thanks guys.

Not sure if we'll actively use it for a while, but it was a good one to protect for our business.

Some that aren't reserved, and I'm sure have had tons of orders because it seems Nominet are doing trademark checks at general availability stage! Haha what a cock up.

Business.wales
Restaurants.wales
News.wales
Recycling.wales

so uk.wales, unitedkingdom.wales, ireland.wales and gb.wales are reserved by Nom but england.wales was not!

This domain name has been reserved for policy reasons, and is not available for registration.

I'm off to register irish.wales & scotland.wales

Where are you guys registering them?

I tried on 1 and 1 and it keeps saying the name cannot be registered to legal reasons. None of the names I have tried are trademarked.

Ones that have gone through so far including Printers.wales, Plumbers.wales and CarTyres.wales

Awesome! Goes with my tablets.wales

Agreed on reserved but Nom logic is a bit random, I just got telephones.wales (a bit old fashioned these days) and choirs.wales (choir.wales is reserved)

 

[donton]

Very strange how Nominet has reserved some domains and not others. Lots of smaller place names reserved - then two fairly large counties (and one that doubles up as a town name) both left FTR at midnight (Conwy and Gwynedd).

Either way, the rush of blood to my head has subsided and I don't think I'll be registering any. Glad you guys have got some, though!
