Acorn domains used to be a fantastic website for chatting about UK domain names. In the last 6 to 12 months it's gradually gone downhill. Seems like 90% of the members have now migrated to another forum.

I've had the pleasure of being a member…

EDIT: Got purchased by someone determined to destroy. I no longer use.

I've had the pleasure of being a member of the Acorn Domains community for well over a decade, and I can confidently say that it has been an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the domain name world. In fact, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into this dynamic and ever-evolving industry.

One of the standout qualities of the Acorn Domains community is the exceptional level of support and assistance provided by its members. Throughout my years of involvement, I have found the community to be filled with knowledgeable and helpful individuals who are always willing to lend a hand. Whether it's answering questions, providing advice, or offering guidance on domain name acquisitions and sales, the members of Acorn Domains consistently demonstrate a genuine commitment to supporting one another.

Another aspect that sets Acorn Domains apart is the wealth of information and resources available within the community. From insightful discussions and thought-provoking threads to educational materials and industry news updates, the platform serves as a hub for all things related to domain names. It's an environment where you can stay abreast of the latest trends, learn from industry experts, and engage in stimulating conversations with like-minded individuals who share your passion for domain names.

Furthermore, the longevity and reputation of Acorn Domains speak volumes about its credibility and trustworthiness. With a solid track record of over a decade, the community has built a strong foundation of trust and reliability. It has become a go-to platform for domain investors, developers, and enthusiasts alike, attracting a diverse range of professionals from various corners of the domain name world.

In addition to the exceptional community support and wealth of resources, Acorn Domains also fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and networking. Through the platform, I have had the privilege of connecting with fellow domain investors and professionals, forging meaningful relationships, and exploring potential business opportunities. The networking opportunities offered by Acorn Domains are truly invaluable, enabling members to expand their professional circles and tap into a broader domain name ecosystem.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the dedication of the Acorn Domains team in maintaining a vibrant and engaging community. Their commitment to facilitating a positive and inclusive environment is evident in the smooth operation of the platform and the active moderation that ensures discussions remain respectful and constructive.

In conclusion, after being a member of Acorn Domains for over a decade, I can confidently state that it is a gem in the domain name world. With its supportive community, extensive resources, strong reputation, networking opportunities, and exceptional team, Acorn Domains continues to be a leading platform for anyone interested in domains. Whether you are a seasoned investor, a budding entrepreneur, or simply someone intrigued by the domain name industry, I highly recommend joining the Acorn Domains community and embarking on an enriching journey that will undoubtedly enhance your domain name knowledge and professional network.

Acorn Domains is the premier domain…

Acorn Domains is the premier domain name forum in the World for .co.uk domains. It also has categories for other ccTLDs and of course gTLDs. It's by far the longest established and the moderation is "light handed" but firm when required. It's run very sensibly.

It's received criticism from some quarters in the past that it's too commercialised and keen on selling premium memberships.

Its critics surprisingly tend to remain anonymous but I'm sure that they're obviously altruistic socialists who selflessly run their not-for-profits, registered charities and community interest companies for no remuneration or recompense whatsoever.

How dare the owner of what is a thriving community that has enabled countless relationships, friendships, deals and sales, have the utter temerity to actually want to make a decent ROI on the considerable investment that he outlaid in purchasing the forum from its founder, Alan! Not to mention the enormous investment of time, energy and money in improving AD v1.0 beyond recognition.

A very good community for UK domains with helpful individuals regularly contributing. Lots of domain content and some good, fair priced domains advertised.

I've been a regular user for many years now and will continue to use this group, one of only a handful I visit regularly.

The place to go for UK domain names

I've been a member on Acorn since 2008, the members are a great bunch, if there's something you don't know relating to domains, whether it's SEO, building sites, WP problems, problems with DNS, whatever, there's always members who know their stuff and help out if you're not very tech inclined.

Not to mention the members who hold some of the most sought after UK domain names, all in one place.

A trusted site for UK domainers.

I’ve been part of the Acorn domain community for several years and have both enjoyed and financially benefited from the experience.

Acorn is now under new management and I’m sure can become an even more valuable resource with an Influx of fresh ideas and investment.

I’d have no hesitation in recommending the site to casual and serious domain investors.

Sends SPAM

Sent me spam asking to write a review about this forum. I have never heard of this website, let alone signed up for it. Don't know why they think I ever did!

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your review! If you truly "have never heard of this website," the only plausible explanation is that you purchased a domain and are still using the previous owner's email address. If that's the case, please send me a request to remove your email from our platform, and I'll be more than happy to do so. You can find my email in the "Contact" section on this page.

Cheers,
Felix

Spammers

To my knowledge I've never had any dealings with Acorn Domains; but that doesn't stop them spamming me to leave a review here on Trustpilot. So I did.

Hello Barry,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! It's truly bewildering how your email was mysteriously used to register on our forum, and then somehow compelled you to verify it. Nonetheless, we appreciate your delightful input!

Hello AS,

Thank you for sharing your review! Typically, I engage with people whose words carry weight, so I anticipated seeing a copy of my message here, or at least the part where I supposedly "ask for positive reviews."

Should you need assistance in translating the message you received, feel free to reach out. I'm fluent in Latvian (and Russian too).
