Our efforts are focussed on developing the domains we have with relevant and useful content for our visitors. This is not a short term task, it
is something we envisage taking us well into the next decade. We do have a duty to consider serious offers, but it is rare for us to be tempted to sell in the normal course of business.
Domain
xyz.tld is not being used - can I have it/buy it?
All the domains we hold have been registered with a view to their development potential. During the last decade our focus was on securing the domains to act as the bedrock for our development. We envisage the development phase taking the best part of the current decade. As such, there are domains that we have yet to set down the development track. Some utilise a third party directory provider to provide utility to visitors by presenting relevant categories and sellers listings in relation to the domain topic, others display a coming soon page. Regardless of what is displayed, it took a great deal of resources to secure the domains and we see their role as pivotal in our future development.
Do
you buy domain names?
Yes,
we are happy to consider strong descriptive/generic
domain names in either the .com or .co.uk tld's - especially
if they have natural type-in traffic.
How
did you choose your names?
As
many of the more usable descriptive/generic names were initially
registered many years ago, the majority of our properties
are operated on domain names made available following the
abandonment of domains of the same character string by third
parties unknown. By examining lists of these names, we are
able to extract descriptive/common terms that we feel
would benefit our service and we compete to secure those terms
at the moment they become available to register again as domain
names. We have supplemented and filtered this using various
descriptive term lists.
I
have a company/brand/website/dog etc called xyz and you have
xyz.tld - why?
The
very nature of descriptive/generic terms mean they are used
by more than one party - and there are geographical and usage
type factors to consider too. Some parties may choose to use
such a term to provide a recognisable leverage to a brand,
although most trademark offices explicitly deny the registration
of a descriptive term used descriptively as a mark due to
its inability to be a distinctive source of origin.
Disputes
If
you believe you have proprietary rights in a term that
one of our names comprise, you are welcome to submit full
details to ourselves for review via our contact
page. We are happy to deal with such matters in a timely
and professional manner.
We
will, however, fully defend our descriptive/common term assets
against covetous parties.
