Choosing
your domain name
There are three aspects to choosing
a domain name:
The choice of Top Level Domain
– such as .uk
The choice of Second Level Domain - such as .co.uk,
.plc.uk or the new .me.uk
The name itself - such as bbc.co.uk
Having decided on your domain name, you then
need to check whether it is available or whether
it has been registered already by another user.
This is done by using the WHOIS service, an
on-line search facility that provides details
of domain name registrations in a matter of
seconds. To use this service click
here for a .uk name and click
here for othe
tld's.
Also, bear in mind that when
you register a domain name, you are agreeing to
abide by Nominet's Terms and Conditions for Domain
Name Registration. These require that you declare
that the registration does not infringe the rights
of others and are in addition to any contractual
agreement that you may have with your registration
agent (ISP).
Nominet's Terms and Conditions
also stipulate that care must be taken to avoid
infringing the rights that a third party might
have in the name. This applies to businesses and
individuals alike. Although a company may have
traded with a similar name for many years - and,
in the case of sole traders and partnerships,
with exactly the same name - only one can use
it as a domain name.
If a company believes that the
registration of their company name, brand names
or registered trademarks as a domain name by a
third party constitutes an infringement of trademark
or an act of passing off, Nominet advises that
they seek qualified legal opinion.
Nominet UK cannot offer legal
advice but may be able to help parties in dispute
over a domain name through its mediative Dispute
Resolution Service.
