The great big .uk Rights of Registration thread!

I doubt anyone would say, but will ask anyway. Did anyone have success spamming all their epp creates at a single high profile domain? We won't know for a day or two to see if certain tags are consistently catching the top prize, but I wonder if it is due to early submits (first across the line), or Nominet load balancing meaning more numbers in the hat the better.

 

[RobM]

Nominet's offical stance on this is that all requests are spread across the load balancer then the first one received is awarded the domain. However judging by their normal catching this is rubbish as we know quite often the first request is not the one that wins. It was hard enough to get tiny bits of info out of them on test - you'll have no chance now with the queries they're no doubt inundated with.

I'm intrigued to know if anyone is holding their quota back, running a quick DAC check after say 10 seconds and having 50 seconds to decide which they'd like from what's left...

2 out of 10 today:

Christ.uk
commonweal.uk

As you can see, I am not in it for the money, but for my own websites and ideals!

Thanks for the 'like', Simon, but also thanks for catching for me!

Got my first email about a .uk today

They asked why I caught their domain (as best I could tell it wasn't the co.uk registrant) then they threatened me after I said a price their offer was £12

There'll be plenty of that to come I'm sure @Murray

Run your dac check immediately if they’re tier 2 you’ll get some

Anyone know why the Austrians are registering .uk names ? What kind of names are they going for ?

One of those tags is owned by the (.at) registry ?

Just sold my first .uk

In hindsight I wish I concentrated on names/second names more, they're going to be easy xxx sales on the whole
