Detagged Domains
What is a DETAGGED domain name? We get asked this question regularly. Only UK domain names can be detagged. A domain name that has been DETAGGED is no longer hosted on valid name servers. What happens if there are no longer valid nameservers showing against a domain name? If no valid name servers are showing this means that any services such e-mail or a web site will no longer work. Who can DETAG a domain name? Only a domain registration service or agent can DETAG a domain name. This happens if the relationship between domain name owner and agent expires, for example if the registration fee or renewal fee is not paid. When are domain names detagged? Domain names can be detagged at any point after registration. Detagging signifies the end of the relationship between the registration agent and the registrant. It is not necessarily an indication of whether a domain name is paid for or not. How can I tell if a domain name is DETAGGED? You will probably notice that the email or web site associated with the domain name has stopped working. You can check the status of any registration by doing a WHOIS look-up that will indicate that the domain name is DETAGGED. How can DETAGGED domain name be retagged? To restore a DETAGGED domain name, the registrant will need to pay a tag change fee of £15+VAT as of January 2004 to nominet via a registration service. Nominet charge a higher fee to deal direct with the owner. Can I register a DETAGGED domain name? A DETAGGED domain name is still registered to the original registrant, and it remains as such until it is either renewed by the current registrant, or it is cancelled. Once cancelled, it immediately becomes available for registration on a first-come, first-served basis. How long does it take for a DETAGGED domain name to become available for registration? Nominet contact the owner of each domain that is detagged and confirms if they wish to renew or allow each name to lapse. If the domain is allowed to lapse then the domain name will be suspended after 21 days and then cancelled between 6-8 weeks after that.
