Registration Rules            Back

Each top level domain has it’s own set of rules dictating who can register a name. The following guidelines are not comprehensive by any means, but are intended to give you a brief guide to domain name registration. If in doubt, please email us with your enquiry at enquiry@namesandspace.net.


Internet Law
Internet law is not for the faint hearted. If you are in any doubt whether registering a name will put you in breech of copyright or trademark regulations, please contact an independent legal advisor.
There are a set of dispute policy guidelines (published by ICANN) which can help you if you feel that a domain name which you are entitled to is being used illegally by someone else.


Allowed Characters
The only valid characters for use in a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen (-). Characters such as !, _, ~ etc are not allowed as they are used by internet application software routines.


.co.uk
This domain name range is used by UK companies and individuals. The names are registered on a first come, first served basis, but any name registered should reflect your actual company name, or you should be able to provide proof that you are operating under an approximation of the required domain name.


.com .net .org
These domain suffixes are controlled by Internic, and although typically used by American companies, are intended to signify an international domain.


.uk.com
These domains are controlled by CentralNIC as an alternative to .co.uk names. They are issued on a first come first served basis.


Dispute
Domain Names are becoming increasingly important and valuable business assets and you must be aware of your responsibilities to not register names which may infringe upon another company’s trademarks or other intellectual property.

If you feel you have a right to a domain name which has been registered by another company or individual, most ISP’s (including NamesAndSpace), follow the uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, as approved by ICANN on October 24, 1999. You can find this policy here

NamesAndSpace will not enter into any legal or other communication relating to a domain name dispute unless requested to do so under the ICANN policy.

Our parent company, Applied Consultancy Solutions Limited, offers a domain name transfer/acquisition consultancy service for those hard-to-get domain names - please call them on 01494 459222 for more details.
