Look at both?
If the impending demise of PPP happens, this will be the only
decent site of this sort in the UK.
If it doesn't, we will have two.

Unless someone extends Pepipoo's domain registration you might
not need to have NFI for much longer...!

Not quite. PePiPoo has one Moderator (Southpaw82), but seemingly
no active administrators. Someone filed the company accounts but
as far as one can tell none of the admins have been active on
the site for a number of years.
This site has 2 admins (Southpaw82 and cp8759) and 2 Moderators
(andy_foster as a 'global' mod and me for the private parking
forum). If nothing else that avoids all the moderating duties
falling on Southpaw's shoulders. And having active
administrators means that 'back end' issues can be investigated
and resolved.

Anyone here planning to dive in and grab the domain name if it
becomes available? That way a redirect to here at least could be
set up.

I don,t know what it cost to "Grab a domain name" but i can see
sense in this site buying it. I for one would be happy to cough
up a share of the cost, i think others would to

Domain registration for a .com domain costs ~£10-15 a year - if
the domain is available to register.

As already said, I will if I can. The problem is that it becomes
available as part of a "drop list" from Nominet, then it's
whoever is first. Since it's been a very popular/long lasting
domain, it's likely to be attempted to be swiped by various
domain parking companies, or shudder a PPC.
I have a "watch" with a registrar where they'll automatically
attempt to register it once it becomes available to register
sometime next year.

Depends on which registrar you use, but I'm currently paying
$4.70pa for a .uk domain, and $9.77pa for a .com (USD).

Nameservers stopped responding today ...
Sparxy - thats a bit less than I am paying via Enom - who are
you using? And yes I'd suspect that picking up the domain when
it expires is going to be a very very slim chance as the bots
will be all over it.

I'm getting the impression that it's a VPS rather than shared
hosting. The server IP reverses to "server.pepipoo.com" and I
don't think anything else is on the IP.

Cloudflare! It's free for a load of stuff including their
"Access" stuff so you can throw all your internal stuff behind a
firewall but still access it, all of my sites are proxied
through it, and the analytics are really useful too.
Anyone know who registered pepipoo.uk?

It would appear that pepitec.co.uk has been renewed today,
expiry now in 2028

I thought you'd say that - can't use them because I can't use
their nameservers ... but thanks anyway.
Back on topic ... I think we should encourage people here as it
pepipoo is effectively dead even if it doesn't actually go
offline.
