Ben - it's fair point, but I am not intending on launching a local country

site without a physical presence, I am registering domains more as a

pre-emptive strike to stop competitors cyber squatting.


It's a sad reality

Call me ignorant, but if you want to register a foreign domain, they ask for

you to have a local office there and you don't - surely anyway you do get to

secure a domain will not be honest nor in good faith?


One of the reasons NIC's ask for a local office is so that users know they

are dealing with a company genuinely operating in that country (eg for legal

protection when buying goods).  This seems to me a sensible and logical

strategy for registering a local domain.  Your sidestepping this only goes

to undermine that concept.


Overall, if you seen not seen to be operating within the rules laid out by

the local NIC, surely this just discredits your website and ultimately your

business?

Subject: UKNM: foreign domain name registering


Hi


I am having problems registering a domain name in foreign countries - a

number of the foreign registrees are coming back to me saying that I don't

have a registered office/company with the same name as the domain.


Registering the .com and .co.uk was a breeze, but does anyone have a steer

on the more 'strict' countries such as Germany and France? Is there any

supplier/service company out there that specialises in this sort of thing.


Thanks


Rob
