Comment on British-owned .EU domains may be turned off on Brexitparent

Comments

Do you have .io domains? If so, you need to get rid of them now because the status of the British Indian Ocean Territory is a lot less clear than the status of any EU country.

I don't know anyone personally with .io mainly due to the price and obscurity.

I do know people that have moved from privately-run TLDs like .info and .space to the Big Three or .uk after huge price increases. That was messy.

For all the failings of UK law it does still require a court order to seize a .uk domain. Back that primary domain with a less-catchy .com or .net for infrastructure and you have a stable, price-reslient arrangement.
