Recently I have been working with Public Health England on building their track and trace program which will be launched imminently ( next few days ) and today they announced what it will be called / referred to publically. I had a quick check and the full domain is available and considered buying it, but then thought that it could very eassily be tracked back to myself ---

Should I buy it and potentially flip it on another market?
 
How can you buy a .gov.uk domain? You need special requirements to do that. If is under .co.uk, then go for it. Depends on how large the team is, they will norrow down the results to a few people that knew about it.

Its a .uk domain. Like nhs.uk ... and because its a 'nhs' project, it'll follow the same TLD

any random Joe can register a gov.uk? If thats the case that extension worth shit. If thats not the case then they will know who requested registration
 
so you claim you helped with an app on behalf of Public Health England
to track covid19 cases, but want to no if should buy the site
to rip them off........ remind bhw not to hire you. that be pretty scummy
thing to do
 
Nobody here have understand your question.
Title mentions to GOV domain name (NOT available to register for average Joes).
In your post you mention a dot uk name (nhs dot uk).
What do you need exactly??
 
Hey, guys - let's not go on the offensive. I mean, nobody says you can't make money, my dude!

I've been lurking BHW since 2018 when I heard about it - I decided to make an account in 2020 due to being too lazy. A thing I VE LEARNED WHILE JUST READING:

The people here really dislike any kind of fraud/scamming situation.

From what I understood, what you're trying to do is literally what @proxygo said. I mean, no judgy-judgy but why try to rip other people's work on your behalf?

If you want to make a profit by buying a .gov domain = I wish you the best of luck and don't drop the SOUP!

If you meant something else, please do explain so I wouldn't be so goddamn confused. I swear I will help you as much as I can if you clear this up!

I doubt they will buy a domain but will have download links directly from governmental websites.

Only question is how many Type Ins will the domain get from the app users .
 
just seems scummy to say,

Code:
i worked for Public Health England on building their track and trace program


thats an app to help the ukGOV monitor covid outbreaks. you then say

Code:
today they announced what it will be called / referred to publically.
I had a quick check and the full domain is available


so you no the apps release name, you wanna snap up the domain
thus biting the hand that you where working for to make a quick buck
on the domain, still scummy as the app/domain will be used to track
out breaks of covid across the uk

you still belive in Santa Claus ?


@OP it really depends on how many Type Ins this Domain could get from the app directly.
I doubt there will be any interest on a domain without traffic just because it has the same name like the app.
