.uk .UK domain name release

What sort of budget are you throwing at these. uk domains

6 figures 7 figures lol

Are you buying for stock or on behalf of a collector? I wi zard

Although there are Eg 12 pre bids on Domainlore. uk etc the number of pre bids isn't changing but position they appear in in domainlore listing keeps changing so existing bidders must be continually upping their bids so an auction must be going on now?

I allowed

You don't want to see the really bad ones .

I'm not going to beat myself up too much that I haven't ended up with a bunch of 3L names as I would have liked, or some prime 1 worders (watch.uk, video.uk, stream.uk spring to mind), it seemed extremely fierce and I've never seen so many names being registered in half a second.

I've never attempted to drop catch any names before so it's been a fun learning experience and a fun ride but I've spent every evening this week compiling a list of names for the next day. My girlfriend will be pleased that this week is over haha. It took me a week of test drops the week prior to get a code base resembling something that was remotely useful for the daily drops. I wish I had started developing a system sooner and made full use of the weeks of test drops, I could have done all sorts to optimize. Alas, it's too late now.

Being able to buy at registrar reg fee has allowed me to have fun without the fear of running up a big bill, plus I have the luxury to cancel names and not get charged.

During the process I picked up a name of a big corporation that I subsequently decided to delete cause it was too much of a hot potato. I cancelled it several hours later and it got snapped up by Dropped.uk after about an hour, it's someone else's problem now.

What I meant is that I have one or two

Two keyword. uk

Domains that I bought before today at reg fee etc

The reason that it may have said waiting for validation etc is because even though you ore registered or back ordered the website address etc it means there are more than 1 person that has back ordered the website address and they would need to see across all the other websites where it was pre registered of you like to see who pre registered it first etc before putting it in to someone's account etc

I assume it's the same process as when a person pre registered a Gtld

Think how many registrars there are across the world where a person could pre register a domain name etc and trademarks as I assume it's Trademarked as it's quite good etc

Here's an article I came across recommending businesses get a .uk domain name.

Do we know when the exact time the
.uk Website addresses were available to buy yesterday and how long the auction lasted etc and on what website etc

I'm from the uk so I bought what I wanted at reg fee as and when I wanted it before the pre reg etc so didn't have any pre reg etc as had no need to etc but it was a significant moment in the digital landscape for the uk yesterday so I'd love to know exact time it went live and people were saying it took about half a second etc

Because you made backorder @ GoDaddy and the auction were for these who made the backorder @ SnapNames

any under $5 .UK promotions?

Silentptnr started the perfect thread with the perfect heading at the perfect time, to Showcase UK names. Would be nice if Admin would re-open it - The Release has gone. We're onto the Showcase now.

what is the best place to register & cost?

Cheers

expireddomains.net shows ZERO .uk drops, although there is more than a million. Very strange. Normally they show .uk drops.

Probably cause they're not your average drop. They didn't drop as usual into the list of available names, they were available only to registrars.

I was spraying some wd40 on some hinges and I noticed the name wd40.co.uk on the side of the can. I checked wd40.uk and it's been snapped up by someone during this release. I'm astounded at the number of companies that didn't bother to get their .UK names.
