Off-topic: why .co.uk rather than .uk?
Why .uk rather than .co.uk?
Wasn't .co.uk originally meant to be for UK companies? And with .uk available, it's just easier to not have to type three superfluous characters.
But all in all, there's no correct answer. I was just curious, as it's the first chance I've had to ask someone that registered a new UK based tld recently.
I think by the time .UK was available, people were already totally used to .co.uk so it's still a bit jarring to use the new one
Oh for sure. I don't even see any websites trying to switch or even purchasing the .UK versions.
It doesn't help that we have no words that end with uk.
Oh right... I dunno. Same, I've never had to ask 🤭.
Good point. I kinda rushed it and didn't really think to check. Just bought it cause .uk is a better tld
Fair
