Landrush phase for .uk short domains now open

[grantw]

Could someone possible post the Whois location where you can check the LL domains registered.

The normal whois works for domains that have been paid for, those that havent been paid for or havent yet been auctioned give an error. The sunrise whois just lists the applicants. My bulk whois site handles ll's if you want to check a few at a time.

It is our view that the bidder was genuine in their bidding but simply failed to meet the 7 day payment condition."

That's harsh.

 

[ratboy]

Guess even more so if they are buying from overseas... them is the rules!

Who's saying that, Nominet?

This message may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Nominet and NFPAS wish to be as open and transparent as possible.

I'd suggest that the comment about being open and transparent probably means that this particular email is not intended to be confidential.

 

[Pred]

that's just a standard line companies have at the bottom of their emails
it's more in case emails go to the wrong place I think

 

[sdsinc]

Personally I would say the big surprise lies in the amounts spent on .org.uk domains. It's almost like people knew they would be outbid on .co.uk domains and focused their rage elsewhere

I Spoke to Nominet earlier about L.co.uk / BB.co.uk:

The invoices was cancelled due to non payment and then because there were no outstanding invoice their system automatically registered both domains.

They noticed the problem fairly quickly and reverted the problem.

bloody last minute bidding
they should have bins

 

[fred]

bloody last minute bidding
they should have bins

They should have all started ridiculously high, say 5 million :-? and dropped in price every minute with a buy now button.

 

[Pred]

yeah a dutch auction would have been better

or got 'jonesy' to list them in the acorn offers section

 

[fred]

or a raffle, everyone who wants a particular name pays £10 and it's drawn out of a hat

 

[Alien]

w.co.uk currently @ £20,000.00.

 

[Pred]
