Nominet UK in climb-down over WHOIS data

23/08/2002 

Nominet UK - the national registry for .uk domain names - has been forced into a U-turn over plans to publish personal details of UK domain name holders on its WHOIS database. 

The move is a victory for those who claimed the sweeping measures breached their personal privacy. 

However, the climb-down is not universal and only applies to individuals whose Web site is used for personal, and not commercial use. 

Businesses will have no option but to have their details published online. 

From October businesses with a .uk domain name will have their company or trading address published as a matter of course, although no telephone numbers or email addresses will be included. 

However, even an individual's personal details will be published on the WHOIS database unless they "opt out" of the scheme. 

The revised WHOIS format will take effect for new registrations made from December 2002. 

Existing domain name holders will be given the chance to opt out when it's time to renew their domains.
