Who is Nominet?

Tiscali Business Services is a Nominet member and tagholder. This gives us the ability to register, renew and administer a .uk domain for you.
In 1996, due to the growing number of .uk domains, Nominet was created as a private not-for-profit company to be the official and sole regulators for .co.uk, .org.uk, and .sch.uk domains. This is how Nominet describe themselves..
.."Nominet UK is the registry for .uk internet names. We manage the authoritative database of .uk domain name registrations. We are a not-for-profit company and have members instead of shareholders. Nominet is officially recognised as the .uk domain name registry by the internet industry, users and the UK Government. We do not proactively sell domain name registrations, but provide neutral advice on registering and maintaining your name."

In which scenarios will I encounter Nominet?

• If you register a .uk domain with Tiscali Business Services, Nominet should send you an official domain ownership document. There is no equivalent certificate for .com, .net, .info, or .biz domains.
• In buying a .uk domain name you understand that you are making a contract with Nominet
• If you want to change the registrant name for your domain, eg you are selling it, this has to be done directly with Nominet. They charge an admin fee and this can be managed from their website. See http://www.nominet.org.uk/MakingChangesToYourDomainName/Transfer/

Who is the domain name registered to?

If you register a domain with us it will belong to you and so you will be registered as the owner of your domain name. Top level domains require registrants to submit complete and accurate Whois data. Although there is an option for non-company registrants of Nominet .uk domains to opt out their address details from public display.

The older practice of companies owning domain names on behalf of the customer is being phased out by Icann.

There is no extra charge if you decide to transfer your domain away.

If you simply want to change or withdraw the registrant address for your Tiscali .uk domain, this is free of charge and this can be done with Tiscali Business Services.
