Domain Registry Services

Cambridge, CB1 3LD
UK.
0870 950 0369

Believe me when I find it, theirs will be the ONLY real email address on this site and it will occur a lot.

3. Whether Nominet can confirm your details to the Trading Standards or the Office of Fair Trading
4. A closing statement — I believe the above statement to be true.

Oh ... and it may be an idea to seal and pop the empty supplied addressed (but not stamped) envelope in the post. Guess who pays ..."
