[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Detagged domains. by: Clare Lawrence
What is a DETAGGED domain name? We get asked this question regularly. Only UK domain names can be detagged. A domain name that has been DETAGGED is no longer hosted on valid name servers. What happens if there are no longer valid nameservers showing against a domain name? If no valid name servers are showing this means that any services such e-mail or a web site will no longer work. Who can DETAG a domain name? Only a domain registration service or agent can DETAG a domain name. This happens if the relationship between domain name owner and agent expires, for example if the registration fee or renewal fee is not paid. When are domain names detagged? Domain names can be detagged at any point after registration. Detagging signifies the end of the relationship between the registration agent and the registrant. It is not necessarily an indication of whether a domain name is paid for or not. How can I tell if a domain name is DETAGGED? You will probably notice that the email or web site associated with the domain name has stopped working. You can check the status of any registration by doing a WHOIS look-up that will indicate that the domain name is DETAGGED. How can DETAGGED domain name be retagged? To restore a DETAGGED domain name, the registrant will need to pay a tag change fee of £15+VAT as of January 2004 to nominet via a registration service. Nominet charge a higher fee to deal direct with the owner. Can I register a DETAGGED domain name? A DETAGGED domain name is still registered to the original registrant, and it remains as such until it is either renewed by the current registrant, or it is cancelled. Once cancelled, it immediately becomes available for registration on a first-come, first-served basis. How long does it take for a DETAGGED domain name to become available for registration? Nominet contact the owner of each domain that is detagged and confirms if they wish to renew or allow each name to lapse. If the domain is allowed to lapse then the domain name will be suspended after 21 days and then cancelled between 6-8 weeks after that.

stream
While the threat from hackers is low for individuals, a more serious threat to personal privacy comes from unscrupulous stream companies that operate websites for quick quids. Many stream sites require you to register before you can use its services. Often you must provide personal information, such as your name, street address, and e-mail address. Then as you browse the site, data is collected as to which pages you visited, how long you remained on each page, the links you clicked, what terms you searched, and so on. After a number of visits to the site, a personal profile emerges. The question is, what do stream site operators do with this information? Most claim that they use it to personalize your experience on the site. For instance, if a stream site learns that you are interested in stream, the next time you visit the site, you might be presented with an article or advertisements for that and related products. But some stream websites sell this information to marketers, which means that you may find yourself receiving unwanted catalogs from garden suppliers. Our preferred retailer does not do this.
