A ccTLD is a country code Top Level Domain, .uk domains are ccTLDs.
ccTLDs are managed within each country by a nominated registration body. In the UK, that body is Nominet. You can visit their website and find out more about their services.
Every registrar has what is known as an IPS tag.
Koboh's IPS tag is simply ENOM (All uppercase).
As a relatively new company, we are not yet able to have our own IPS Tag so we use a domain partner to manage domains registered with us.
