Domain Name Facts - know the facts, avoid being scammed International & UK domains are registered instantly - no other company is informed of the registration and no-one can intervene International (.com .net .org) domains can be registered for 1 - 10 years, whereas UK (.co.uk .org.uk .ltd.uk .plc.uk .me.uk) domains are registered and renewed at 2 year intervals - it is not possible to register a UK domain for anything more or less than 2 years Domain names can be registered cheaply, quickly and easily online, you do not necessarily need an agent to register for you Companies that sell domain names by telesales are almost always scammers A registration company is not obliged to check trademarks and company names before agreeing to register any domain - this is the registrant's responsibility Owning a trademark or company name does not automatically entitle you to the matching domain names It is not possible to "earmark" or reserve a domain name DON'T send money to companies you've never heard of
