From UKIPBWC

All UKIP websites should be accessed through a domain name. If the way to access your website is like the following: http://www.swdukip.supanet.com/ or http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/UKIP_Yeovil/ then please register a domain name and point it to your hosted site. This will also help comply with our email guidelines below.

Domain names should be relevant, easy to spell, and put on badges etc.

The following is a common list of top level domain names and when to use them:

Top-Level Domain	Proper use	Actual use	UKIP use	Example domain
.info	Informational websites for use by companies or organisations.	Often used for informational websites, sometimes used as personal websites.	Good for election candidates.	Vote-Steve.info
.com	American companies	International companies	Do not use.
.org	American organisations	International organisations	Acceptable for general use. Do not use for candidates or specific branches.	ukipcampaign.org
.org.uk	British organisations	British organisations	Perfect for branches and other small UKIP websites	UKIP-Yardley.org.uk
.co.uk	British companies	British companies, personal websites	Avoid unless absolutely necessary.
.tv	Media	Used mainly on television adverts for companies	Avoid	ukip.tv

If your website has expired, or been discontinued even temporarily, don't leave it hanging around - please point the domain to ukip.org

Further, if someone takes over the domain name by agreement please close the old site down properly.
At least one example has been found of an old website remaining in an undead state on free hosting indefinitely...

Needless to say, all normal contact routes had become out of date.
