lost my domain name!

[Jimmy Little]

i did own www.jimlittle.co.uk... but it ran out and the company wanted £40 to renew it! which seems high as it cost me £12!!! so i'm, gonna gamble and try and rebuy it whenever it comes back on the market.... anyone know how long that takes?

Well your domain name has been detagged, so you need to follow this to get it back up and running....

http://www.nominet.org.uk/ref/detagged.html

Once a registrant has confirmed they no longer require their domain name, or has not paid their renewal invoice, the registration will be suspended after 21 days and then cancelled between 6-8 weeks after that.

Thats one of the important statements there...

Nominet for reference is the UK's standard body for domain names afaik and therefore the information there should be 100% accurate.

Read and follow the instructions and you should be fine

You could make it quicker by surrendering the domain and then re-registering when it gets released - http://www.nic.uk/MakingChangesToYou...ame/Surrender/

40 for a renew? thats a outrage

Who did you get the domain name through?

[Jimmy Little]

i'm not sure my mate brought it for me at the price of £12 which was for two years, and a good deal, but the company now want £40 to renew, so we are thinking about what options to do..
