Need a domain name?

If you are looking for a new website one of the things you will need is a domain name (eg the domain for our site is forestsoftware.co.uk) This is the bit that you use to get to a website or send emails - note that the www does not form part of the domain name).

Why not check to see whether the domain you want is available by using our domain availability checker and who-is script. If the domain has not yet been registered you can register the domain yourself by following the link on the results page to one of our partner sites. If you prefer however, we can register the domain for you (in your name) for a small administrative fee.

Did you know, that great domain names become available every day. Visit the domainsbot website, type in a keyword and they will show you the results including those domains released today, will expire in the next week or in the next months. In seconds you'll start finding valuable domains you aren't likely to find elsewhere, including those that are already on the search engines.

Important :

Please check that who ever registers the domain for you that it is registered in your (or your company's / partnership's / charity's name). If this is not done you may have problems if you want to move the domain to another provider. If you register a domain name through us there is no charge to move it to another host or provider as long as you have paid all outstanding registration and hosting costs.

Please note that if you register a domain through us we will contact you approximately 60 days before the domain expires asking if you would like to renew the domain and quoting the current price.

Domain Registry of...

A number of our customers have recently complained about being duped into renewing their domains with other domain registrars by an email or letter, notifying them of an upcoming renewal requirement. Companies involved in this unsolicited contacting of our customers include:

• Domain Registry Group
• Domain Registry of America
• Domain Registry of Europe

By responding to these spam emails or "look alike bills", you will be *TRANSFERRING OUT* of our control and will thus lose all the benefits offered to you by Forest Software. The only way to renew your domain with us is by confirming to Forest Software that you want the domain renewed when we ask. More details about the Domain Registry of America can be found here. If you receive one of these "bills" and wish to complain you may lodge your complaint directly with the Office of Fair Trading. The more complaints that are received regarding this activity the stronger the case will be, for the OFT and, where appropriate, the police.

Please forward all complaints for the attention of: Ms Felisberta Handem, Office of Fair Trading, Control of Misleading Advertisement Team, Fleet Bank House, 2-6 Salisbury Square, London. EC4Y 8JX.

We would urge all our customers to continue to read carefully any documentation or e-mails received regarding domain registration and renewal, in order to ensure their authenticity.

UK Domains

However, if you have a uk domain name you may receive a letter from a company called Nominet containing a security code and asking you to confirm the domain. These are perfectly above board and should be responded to. It is best if you, the client respond since it proves to you that the domain is registered in your name, however should you wish we can respond for you, you will need to send us a copy of the letter with the security code shown. Nominet is the only Registry for all .uk domain names.
