XDnet is pleased to announce that since 5pm today (25th May 2012) we have started accepting registrations and renewals for 1 – 1o years in line with the recent Nominet change.
How to Register:
To register your .UK domain name for the maximum 10 year period simply use our domain checker to find your perfect .co.uk, .me.uk or .org.uk domain and select 10 Years in the order process (as shown above).
How to Renew:
You can also renew your existing domain for longer! Simply login to your client area -> select “My Domains” -> select the domain you wish to renew -> press Renew -> Select your renewal period and you’re away!

The .UK Registry Nominet has announced today that from 1st May 2012 the registration periods for all .UK domains will change to the more commonly used multi-year periods in the same wayas .COM.
This means that users will be able to register .UK domains from between 1 year and 10 years enabling users more flexibility in their registrations as they can renew for longer without needing to worry about renewals.
What does this mean for .UK ?
This will have no impact on current registrations, it just means you will have the option to renew domains for up to 10 years come renewal.
XDnet plans to fully support this change in May and will announce pricing details closer to the time.
The Sunrise phase of the new .XXX domain launch came to a close on 28th October, and we will soon be moving onto the next phase of the launch process – Landrush.
Landrush kicks off on 8th November
Landrush provides a limited-time opportunity for those who didn’t qualify for Sunrise A, but still want to grab an awesome .XXX domain before General Availability.
Between 8th November and 25th November 2011 members of the adult Sponsored Community may apply for .XXX domains of their choice.
Unlike Sunrise there are no trademark or pre-ownership requirements for registrations made during landrush, however applicants must be part of the adult Sponsored Community to qualify.
Not first come, first served.
Unlike General Availability if there are multiple applications for the same domain during Landrush, the domain then goes into an auction process where applicants can bid against each other for the domain.
If you’d like to submit an application for a .XXX domain during Landrush please get in touch with XDnet support who can help you with this process and help you get an awesome new domain.

Domains are a pain to pick, it always seems that the good ones are taken. However here are some great tips I have for creating a domain that is right for you.
Be creative
Keep it relevant
.com it!
Be Creative
Coming up with a domain is hard work, but you don’t need to limit yourself to obvious words. Google.com is (believe it or not) a typo, it was going to be registered as Googol. Try and avoid common domains words (such as design, games and free) as this could lead to greater composition in your rankings.
Keep it relevant
If you website is about web hosting, make sure you have something about hosting in the name. Don’t what ever you do call it something completely irrelevant such as newtech or easypeazy, as this could making initial rankings hard to come by.
.com it!
If you have ever saw an average user at work they never seems to notice that you can have different extensions to a domain. In fact I was once telling something about a website (which ending in the .co.uk tld) and when they went to type it in they put sitename.co.uk.com. It could be that I work with tech-tards alot, but it’s safe to assume that if you can’t get your domain as a .com, it’s not worth the time.
And don’t forget, you can easily register your domain (in a large variety of different tlds) with XDnet so you can easily manage it within our client panel.
