The great big .uk Rights of Registration thread!

[dee]

Use an existing registrantID from the live server; nothing from the testbed will work.

Cheers, Ian. Yes.. I was just trying think of reasons it wouldnt work. I re tried again a while ago and it seems to have jumped into life.

The ROR EPP had a certificate error. I whinged to Nominet today and fair play to them, they sorted it within a couple of hours (after sort of insinuating the error I was getting was my issue). It saved having to recode my script. If anyone had errors connecting previously, it may work now.

I'm still getting <svID>Nominet EPP server epp.nominet.org.uk</svID> for the ror-epp.nominet.org.uk address. Is that the same for everyone else???

The response I get is also <svID>Nominet EPP server epp.nominet.org.uk</svID>.

We're offering something a bit different at https://www.name.uk
No pre-orders or queues, just live registrations on the day.
Good for your last minute domains, or 2nd/3rd tier domains.

We're offering something a bit different at https://www.name.uk

Will the process be, search for the domain, if available complete checkout and pay, and then you will instantly register? I guess it will be subject to how many requests vs creates you have per minute if it's instant

Only one domain per search? no bulk feature?

Yes instant registration. The process can be speeded up if customer pre-register and add funds on account beforehand. We'll give full refunds of any unused funds.
Of course we could run out of requests but we are on a fairly high tier. We /may/ make a bulk register available with 15 domains at a time.

Was it confirmed what's happening with .co.uk normal drops in the week? Am I right in thinking Nomnet have said they're won't be any? Any news on when those domains will then drop, if so?

I recall them saying no drops will take place on the normal system at 2pm but cannot remember for how long, sure it was an hour or two.

On the email “Deadline THIS FRIDAY for meeting the criteria to participate in the .uk Right of Registration release process” sent 18th June:

Reminder

To ensure a smooth release process we will temporarily suspend random drops of deleted domain names which we would normally carry out as part of our ‘business as usual’ registry services, at certain times during the release period. This function will be turned off between the hours of 13.30 BST (UTC+1) and 14.30 BST (UTC+1) every day from the 1st to the 5th July inclusive

 

[3gmedia]

There may be an opportunity for some people who missed out on catching their chosen .uk names.

Some of us may end up in auctions where the bids go above our own limits.

Would anyone here risk using Snapnames for these .uk drops 1st to 5th July? Have read plenty posts of them being suspected of shill bidding? Just wondered if anyone has used them for Nominet based name and their experiences (good or bad). Any other recommendations for honest and trustworthy catchers to use? Left it a bit late I know. Many thanks.

What would happen if there was a coordinated ddos attack against the bigger registrars, and could this happen?

Smaller drop catchers could potentially take an advantage.

You would need to know the exact location of their servers.
