Information
Nominet, the organisation that oversees .UK domains, has introduced stricter data requirements. As a result of this change Nominet now validate that supplied contact information is valid. In the event they are unable to validate the details they will attempt to resolve the issue with the registrant but should all attempts fail they may choose to suspend and ultimately cancel (delete) the domain.
