Fellow Warriors!

I am using co.uk extensions for my PBN's and nominet keeps blocking my domains. I need advice on what contact info to give them, if my persona details are obviously not working.

Thank you for your help in advanced

    Are you legitimately entitled to a .co.uk domain?

      Yes, they allow us to register them with persona info. Then after about a day nominet will send and email saying we need to verify our info. Do we give them our company info or try and send individual info?

      Do you have experience in a similar situation?

    I've registered quite a few co.uk domains - if Nominet are asking for info then give it to them.

    Remember that if you're using this for a PBN your details will potentially be open to public view - Nominet only allow privacy if it's for personal use, so if it comes to their attention that you're using the domain for commercial use they'll remove any privacy protection.

      Okay, thank you for the help. So, if I am using more than one domain though, I would have to change all info to mine in order for them to verify the domain? Will they allow me to make them all private afterwards for free?

        Nominet's rules on this are here.

        If you're using the domain commercially then they expect you to have your full details publicly available.

        Your registrar may allow you to claim the details as private and the website as non-commerciall (Nominet doesn't charge for this option) but if Nominet subsequently discover that you're using the domain commercially then they can and do remove the privacy.
