Press Release Summary: UK domain backordering, drop lists and Nominet TAG hosted
dropcatching system released for .uk domains.


Press Release Body:

Exeter, United Kingdom, June 13, 2008 -- Opportunities are steadily diminishing for
domain investors and speculators in the .com market. All the \'low-hanging fruit\' has
been picked and the aftermarket now commands some pretty hefty prices. Even now
there is a busy trade in \"LLLL.com\" domains (substitute any letter for \"L\") and
these domain registrations are being snapped up in the hope that their potential use
as acronyms might realise some value in the future.

In fact, the market is currently being opened up for Five-letter domains by the
starving \'domainers\' - a move that may prove profitable or foolhardy for the future.
We\'ve yet to see. The fact of the matter is that the prime .com and .net domain
space is highly competitive.

Enter Hubbard Media - a UK tech consultancy with expert knowledge of how the .uk
ccTLD domain space operates. They offer a low-cost entry into the market, with
direct access to registering pre-registered/expiring .uk domain names within just
milliseconds of their dropping.

There are no difficult APIs to follow; no auctions, and no third-party
intermediaries to worry about as there are in the .com space. You become your own
registrar for a small fee for membership registration and system access (via the
\'DAC\' or \'Domain Availability Checker\') - fees which are applied directly by Nominet
UK. All that\'s left to do then is to sign up for the service(s) provided by Hubbard
Media.

Hubbard announce their range of services as follows:

1. Complete 24/7 DAC hosting and use of their bespoke EPP catching script which can
poll the DAC 432,000 times per rolling 24 hours and catch domains via Nominet\'s EPP
server within milliseconds. Price: £300 per month plus £150 one-off setup fee. There
is no contractual commitment over and above a single month.

Nominet membership and DAC access is required. Nominet currently charge a one-off
fee of £400 for membership setup, then £100 per annum for continued membership and
£20 per annum for DAC access, all plus VAT. UK domains are charged by Nominet at £5
plus VAT.

Total initial cost of entry: Circa £1,000 GBP or $2,000 USD. Nominet membership is
available outside of the UK. Hubbard Media has clients worldwide.

2. For those without Nominet membership and DAC access, Hubbard Media offer a \'per
name\' backordering fee of £30 each, plus Nominet transfer fees of £11.75 per name,
or £25.85 in total for three or more. Direct registration (no transfer fees) is
available to bulk account customers booking
