Domain name

[Trebor01]

Hello

Can I continue to use my old business domain name which was ‘xxxxltd.co.uk’ even though my business xxxxltd is in liquidation?

The name xxxxltd.co.uk is on my company vehicles and elsewhere and I was wondering if I am breaking any rules or laws by continuing to use the name xxxxltd.co.uk

Thank you

I am not aware of any rules you are breaking but maybe email nominet to double check. The only thing I would say is it may end up rather misleading / confusing for customers if the Ltd is in liquidation.

What about if the domain is actually the property of the LTD

Good point, if the company paid for the domain name you can’t use it anymore.

I’d still be wary of anything that suggests you are still limited. To be on the safe side go get a new domain name.

Are you planning to continue as a sole trader? You cannot call yourself limited when you are not.

Would it be an allowable option for the old domain name to redirect to a new one?

Maybe. But the van, signage, documents and clothing would all need to show the new url.

sorry guys but that domain sounds like a porn site to me,dont think i would want that on my vans,biz cards,t shirts,etc
or is that just me

It's just you. It's an example not the real domain name

Sounds more like a crappy Australian lager to me!

But then again, I wouldn’t give a four x for anything else.
