RE: UKNM: OK so how did OK nab a OK.co.uk

[Steve Miller]

Hi Leslie,


Slipping my 'Mr. Domain Name' hat on for a brief moment - yes you are

completely correct. The only way that OK mag can use ok.co.uk domain is that

they either nabbed it before the Nominet rule change, or they bought it from

someone who had managed to obtain it before the rule change. From the whois

information at www.nic.uk it would suggest that the latter might be the case

unless, it was renewed recently. A similar thing happened with bt.co.uk

'er, how does ok mag manage to nab a domain like ok.co.uk given that nominet

does not allow two alpha character domains...anymore... I think they changed

the rules about four years ago...


I guess they must have bought it from someone who nab it before Nominet

changed their rules a few years back..
