Re: Domain taken, Domain was available but isn’t really after checking again

The availability of a domain name is determined from the response given to a WHOIS record check to each domain registry. The results of this check are not guaranteed.

From our experience up to 1 in every 10000 non-UK domain checks can report a domain name as being available when in fact it is not. A check a moment later shows the domain correctly taken.

We have never had a problem with incorrect availability reporting for .UK domain names. The availability status for .UK domains historically is always correct.

Any order placed within our system that cannot be fulfilled for this reason will be cancelled and refunded in full.

We charge £4.99+VAT per UK domain to change the IPS TAG so that you can move to another Hosting Company or ISP.

Alternatively, you can contact Nominet directly who will also make the IPSTAG change at a cost of £10+VAT per UK domain.

See Nominet Change Registrar for further details.
