123-reg is the first web host to surpass one million .uk domain names, making it UK’s largest domain registrar.

March 5, 2008 - (TopHosts News Brief) – Domain Registrar, 123-reg, announced that it is the first web host to exceed one million .uk domain names registered on a single IPS (Internet Provider Security) tag. 123-reg was informed by Nominet, the internet registry for .uk domain names, that this milestone figure was reached during the last half of January 2008 when the number of domains on the 123-reg tag hit 1,007,975.

Tag Holders are companies that provide domain name registration services, and include specialist domain name providers, hosting companies, ISPs and even web designers. 123-reg is one of several companies that host the most widely used extension in the UK, .uk domains. Each domain has an IPS tag (also known as a Nominet Provider tag or IPS Key,) which represents being a member of Nominet and is used to recognize the company responsible for the management of a .uk domain. One reason for the company achieving this milestone is attributed to the high level of domain control given to its customers, making 123-reg the UK’s largest domain registrar.
