It's May 25th, which means that GDPR goes into effect today. Aside from DomainGang being unavailable to European readers, a number of news sites such as LA Times and Chicago Tribune are blocked for those in Europe. Britain's Nominet has also taken all WHOIS offline, which means it'll be a little more difficult to track down owners of .CO.UK domains from now on.
If you are putting a domain name up for sale, it will be more important than ever to clearly indicate to any visitors that the name is for sale, alongside a means of contacting you.
Here are this week's Top Topics.
