Question
How many website domain names the Welsh Government owns and pays for are currently a) active and b) inactive?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Mark Drakeford)
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.
