Many of our customers have asked us for domain lookups. This is now live at our site. If you click on the buy now buttons you can now lookup a domain and if available buy it or you can go to the page directly here for a whois lookup

When a .uk domain is registered, there is an option for non trading individuals to have their address details omitted from a public lookup.

Only domain name holders that are non-trading individuals can opt-out of having their address details published. In other words, if you do not use or plan to use your domain name for business, trade or professional transactions you will be entitled to opt-out of having your address displayed.

Sadly, we are seing more and more domains using this illegally, in particular, so called web design companies who really do know better.

By registering a domain name ending in .uk (with some very limited exceptions), you enter into a contract of registration with us (Nominet UK) on the following conditions, which includes conditions limiting our liability and relating to our use of your personal information. This contract is just for the domain name and separate to any arrangement you may have with any other organisation for providing internet services.

In other words registering a domain like this breaks your contract with Nominet.

Sadly, we have come across many web design companies that don’t register your domain to you, but instead register it under their own names. This is not only unethical, it breaks nominets rules.

We will not register your domain under our name or email address. Your domain name fully belongs to you.

When SoftData Internet register a domain we do it honestly. You will certainly see us as registrars, but the domain belongs to you, not to us, and the whois records will show that.

You can register your domains with SoftData Internet ltd . As well as our renouned hosting packss we are also nominet registrars and can register domains for you
