Nominet

Connect your Nominet registrar account to manage eligible .uk domain registrations and renewals through WISECP.

Access the Screen

Open Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → Nominet: {admin}/module/registrars?module=Nominet.

What Is on the Screen

The form contains EPP credentials, test and TAG options, and shared nameservers. There are no domain import or extension price import tabs.

Register for EPP Access

1. Prepare an eligible Nominet registrar account and TAG. In Online Services, open Tag Settings → EPP Live.
2. Set an EPP password of at least 14 characters and authorize your WISECP server's outgoing IP. The EPP password is separate from the portal login.
3. Allow outbound TCP port 700 and TLS 1.2. Live access uses epp.nominet.org.uk. See EPP registration.
4. Register separately under Tag Settings → EPP Testbed. Set test credentials and IP permission. Allow up to one hour for changes; see OT&E and Testbed.

Settings

Tasks

Connect and Test

1. Enable Test Mode in the module form and enter your Testbed TAG and EPP password.
2. Click Test Connection at the bottom. It opens an EPP connection and logs in; it does not register a domain.
3. Click Save Changes and reopen the form. No separate WISECP server record is required.
4. Keep test extensions unavailable for sale. Verify Testbed service operations before disabling Test Mode and entering live credentials.

Assign Extensions and Prices

Under Products → Domains, select Nominet in the extension's Registrar field and click Update Extensions. Assign only supported .uk extensions; other namespaces are excluded from availability checks.

Open the row's Pricing window, enter costs and selling prices, then click Save Changes. Compare currency, eligible periods and account terms with Nominet. Automatic cost updates and premium prices are not supplied.

Existing Domains and Transfers

Automatic domain listing and import are unavailable in this module. Arrange existing service records with your administrator and confirm customer, extension, provider and expiry date before management.

Incoming .uk transfers depend on an external IPS TAG change. The module's transfer action reads domain information and can report success without confirming TAG ownership. Complete the provider's TAG/handshake process and verify the domain on your TAG before treating the transfer as complete.

Manage Domain Services

Registration, renewal, nameserver updates and date synchronization are implemented. Open the domain under Orders → Services. Confirm its expiry date before renewal: the module sends the service's current due date to Nominet.

In DNS, nameserver changes can create missing host objects. This module has no DNS record, DNSSEC, child nameserver editing, URL forwarding or email forwarding operations.

WHOIS changes update the registrant contact only. Contact retrieval and privacy switching are unavailable. Verify legal type and registrant details with Nominet; the default module supplies no additional eligibility form.

Transfer actions for locking and Get Transfer (EPP) Code write authInfo values. Code retrieval generates a new value. These are not a TAG change or proof of registry transfer protection; manage .uk transfers through Nominet's supported process.

Suspension, reactivation and cancellation do not send a registry change. There is no restore operation. Customer controls depend on service permissions; enabling the TAG option does not add missing functionality.

Things to Consider

Required Permissions

Setup requires Domain Name Registrars permission. Service actions require their corresponding permissions and an authorized Nominet TAG.
