As far as I am aware, we only register for ourselves under one name. That has been our policy since we started. However, the exact details have changed a little since we started and formalised arrangements. We have no aliases - it's just unfortunate that Chris is a common dropcatching name
. Nominet would shoot us out of the sky if they thought we were using different names to 'double up'. In fact, the word on the street is they've rumbled one or two people who've acquired more than one tag and membership!
WRT blue.co.uk, I can see how you made the link to CHC and you're absolutely right. The WHOIS address is the same as the CHC, however Name Magic is not affiliated with the CHC - it is a customer. Thanks for informing me - I'll look into that. When we grab a new name, we put up a pretty generic holding page until the new registrant wants to do something with it. As it happens, this is further complicated for blue.co.uk because based on our previous successes, we are helping Name Magic with the sales.
You state that CHC and detagged are the same. They're not. Detagged.co.uk is only concerned with dropcatching. CHC is a web design and hosting company which I have little to do with.
On your comment about being in the same business, all I was referring to was the fact that we are going after the same names. That may precipitate bad feeling or the cynicism I mentioned, particularly when we lose a good name to each other!
There's obviously no need for any bad feeling and I think we all want to forget what was said in the past
, and any bad feeling that may remain
.
One more thing - I am currently working on a user interface for the SnatchBack system. However, there are extra considerations, security and otherwise, that must be taken into account before implementing such a system. These things take a long time to develop, particularly when I spend most of my time studying to be a doctor!
We do operate on a strictly first-come first-served basis and will continue to do so.
As for your suggestion of putting the registrants' name on the site - I'll look into it. Since it's best practice to only advertise the better catches, most of them will be ours anyway
. On that note, do you operate a site that you advertise your domains for sale on David?
Anyway, I hope that this answers your questions
.
