The .uk domain name plays an important role in the UK and global economy.  Our research has shown us that UK consumers have a greater level of trust in .uk domain names with 77% preferring to click on a .uk search result over a .com.

This level of trust in the security and integrity of .uk is encouraging and we are committed to delivering against this expectation and take appropriate measures to keep .uk safe.

We provide registrars with tools to take action against illegal online activity at a domain name level.

• Phishing feed - this service provides registrars with information about domain names on their account that are suspected of being involved in phishing.

• Investigation lock - this operation locks domain names by removing the name from the zone file and preventing changes from being made. This means that any web site or email associated with the domain name will no longer be available.

These two tools are provided free to all Nominet members and registrars. If you have any questions  about these tools or any security or anti-abuse issues, please contact our customer services team on 01865 332233 or by email: support@nominet.org.uk
