NEW:
WWW.YOURNAME.UK.VG!
Due to a shortage of domain names ending in .co.uk, .org.uk, .com etc.
companies in the United Kingdom have to find alternative names in order to
register a domain name. The situation has also been exacerbated by the
requirement of domain name users to be a registered company, making the
registration of domain names even more difficult.
It has been almost a year since The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) approved seven new top-level Internet domains, but not
one has been launched to date, although two of the new domains .biz and
..info will launch October 1.
To tackle this issue, Register.uk.vg will, on 10 October 2001, release a new
range of domain names with the extension .uk.vg. As a result all domain
names with the extension .uk.vg will become available for registration.
Register.uk.vg will also make it possible for both companies and individuals
to register.
The companies behind Register.uk.vg include WebbCity (
www.WebbCity.net),
which is one of the leading web-design companies in the Netherlands,
specialising in Websites, Virtual Shops and Registry Service Software;
CyberBunker (
www.CyberBunker.com), an internet provider specializing in
top-level hosting in Europe and Eye-on.it ltd (
www.Eye-on.it), a UK
established database and web-design company, specialising in database
programming (for both online and standalone systems), online catalogues,
Aperture visual database management systems and IT solutions. Eye-on.it ltd
is the official promoter of Register.uk.vg in the United Kingdom.
Registration is easy. At Register.uk.vg you need to check if your chosen
domain name is available. If it is, then reserve your chosen domain name, by
simply completing a form online. This form is designed for both individuals
and corporate customers who want to register a domain name. Your domain will
be reserved for you immediately at which point you will be sent confirmation
of registration/invoice by e-mail. The cost of applying for a .uk.vg domain
name is £15 for a twelve month period, with on line renewal. There are no
other hidden charges, annual administration or transfer fees.
Payment is easy by direct transfer to a specified bank account. A credit
card is not required and therefore there are no security issues with regards
to personal data or data protection. If payment is not received within 10
working days, the reserved domain name will become available for another
person to register. Registration occurs when payment is received at which
point you will be sent confirmation.
