How many website domain names the Welsh Government owns and pays for are currently a) active and b) inactive?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 06/04/2022

The website domain names the Welsh Government currently owns and pays for are:

a)    47 active

b)    484 inactive

Inactive domains are maintained for a number of reasons. These include the prevention of impersonation / cyber-squatting and avoiding potential fraud, and for websites that have closed but are still referenced online or in published documents.  We review the domains we hold biannually.
