New content is being added to the Skymarket website on a daily basis and the new control centre is in its final stages of testing. In addition, our search engine services have been re-engineered and can be seen here. Some customers have reported an increase in so-called domain slamming and we have included information regarding all these subjects in the sections below:

DOMAIN SLAMMERS

Trading Standards have notified us of ongoing proceedings against a number of so-called "domain slammers” operating in the UK, namely Domain Registry of America, EU Registry Services and Domain Registry Services. If you receive letters from any of these 3 companies then be aware that their activities are currently under investigation and they should not be paid any monies for domain renewals unless you are SURE your domain is held by them already. We would be particularly interested to hear from people who have had contact from any of these 3 regarding co.uk domains.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION

We are now offering our search engine expertise on a no-win no-fee basis and if you wish to investigate getting better rankings for your website at no risk, call us on 0845 475 2200 and select Option 2.

CAPACITY UPGRADES

We are currently upgrading our ADSL capacity and as such there will be a short period of downtime for our ADSL customers on the evening of Friday 13th August.

NEW CONTROLCENTRE

We now have a date for the launch of the new controlcentre, which is 1st September 2004.

Thank you all for your continued support.
