Domain problems no more!
Reviewed on 2021-02-24T14:28:16
We'd been having domain issues with our previous provider for months and within a few hours of working with Nominet (Marie and Dawn),they had solved all of our problems and managed to transfer our domains over to another provider. Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced!
If you're having any domain issues give them a call on the disputes line and they'll work through to how to solve your problems. A huge thanks to Marie especially for all the support.

Absolutely Awful Experience

Absolutely Awful Experience. Have suspended my website even though it is nothing to do with them.I am a trusted company and never ever signed up with them but now my website cannot be visited. I am furious about this and I hope that no one ever uses them again!

If Domain issues are driving you mad - Nominet may be able to help…
Reviewed on 2020-05-29T11:24:41
I was surprised to see the negative reviews below - I have been totally frustrated trying to get detailson a domain name until I realised I had originally booked through Nominet and they were a breath of fresh air - specifically Tim Dalby. He was able to help me see what was going wrong and I really wished I was still being looked after by them (and am planning to go back to one they manage).
The negatives below seem to refer to companies registered outside of the UK, if this means Nominet are ensuring there is security and transparency/trackability on the internet, then that can only be a good thing!

Had a ltd.uk domain registered for…
Reviewed on 2018-05-04T14:11:56
Had a ltd.uk domain registered for nearly two decades, Companies House forced a name change,due to rule change 4 years after incorporation, Nominet cancel domain. Regained company name. Requested Nominet to reinstate domain. Didn't reply. Called a week or so later, advised don't offer this service anymore. Request list of authorised providers then (for ltd.uk) they don't have one. Not fit for purpose.

They won't approve my domain name because my ID does not match with the country ID.Those people never heard of foreigners living in an other country. I am happy that the UK leaves Europe.

High-handed, self-appointed parasites
Reviewed on 2018-03-12T13:10:40
My company received a domain renewal notice on Sunday 11th March. Nominet suspended our website and email by 10.30 the following morning 12th March without further notice.Completely outrageous behaviour from a high-handed, self-imposed bureaucracy. Nominet is a parasitical agency with whom we entered no contract. The only business they’re good for is apparently their own. No wonder the Lyons Review was so scathing of them and their response to that Review was a disgrace.
