When does the domain get
registered?
If you are an existing authorised customer your registration
will have been processed by our automated system so you should
see .uk domains names showing as registered within 30 minutes
depending on how busy the Nominet servers are.
If you are a new customer your registrations will be held
in pending until we can verify your account information. This
is carried out several times per day so you should not have
to wait more than an hour or so.
.com domains are all authorised off line. We do this every
hour and the domain names usually show as registered on the
whois lookup within 24 hours.
What can I do with my
domain name?
1 You can register it and park it. This will show our home
page should anyone look for your domain name.
2 You can add web and email forwarding to it. Remember this
is free for the duration of your registration
3 You can register it an host it with us.
4 You can register it and point it at your own domain name
servers. This allows you to use hosting facilities provided
by other providers.
How much is it to transfer
a domain name to you?
You can trasnfer a domain name to us free.
Please note that if you transfer an existing domain name
to us and only require URL and email forwarding there will
be a charge of £5 per year to cover our administration
costs.
Can I transfer a .uk domain
name to your tag?
Yes. Please let us know before you transfer it.
When the domain becomes due for renewal with Nominet we will
bill you whatever our current rate is.
