OT - Nominet

Sorry, don't know where else to post.

Earlier in the year I registered one or two domain names, including two
..co.uk ones through 123-re.co.uk

I just had a letter in the post from Nominet asking me to go to their site
to verify my details.

Is this genuine? Or a scam to get info from me?

Cheers

This is normal - you check that all your details are correct. You can print
out a registration certificate showing your registered name(s) details.

It's probably genuine. They ought to have all the information anyway, they
just like to make sure it's up to date.

Perfectly genuine. They started doing it a while ago, and I've had
letters for a few of my domains. It's no greate hassle, and you can see
you're on the genuine Nominet site anyway.

You only have to update the basic details, and it does make sure that
you are the right person. More worrying if you don't eventually get one!

It takes about five minutes to do it all, and you get to download a nice
colour copy of your certificate. Don't ignore it (even if some people
do); apart from anything else it's probably a safeguard against slipups
by whoever actually did your registration (usually your ISP).

We await the lapsing of your domain around June 18th, then!

Hi,

It's genuine, I've got a couple knocking around somewhere for my domains. I
don't think you have to confirm the details if you don't want to, I never
have and both my domains are fine.

Nominet are the internet registry service for the .co.uk names.

It's genuine. (assuming it says http://www.nominet.org.uk/ )

Which site are they trying to get you to go to ?

All the registration forms i`ve had from Nominet (got one in the post
today) have a peel-off security sticker with an ID code behind it in
the event you want to do anything with the domain.

If you had looked proper you would have seen it was registered with
pipex/123reg and i've yet to hear of a single instance of them not
emailing you and telling you a domain is due for renewal .

45days / 30days / 15days / 2days is the usual unless you go into the
123reg control panel to tell it otherwise .

Have faith :-)
