The .UK revolution

[webber]

I for one am grateful for the end users that don't appreciate how much a domain is worth and they let theirs expire/drop

He could have said...

But I didn't. What I said was "Would you like to buy *******.uk as well to keep the pair together?"

 

[martin-s]

he won't even allow himself to point his businesses .uk to the .co,uk that it trades from!

Busy work really, but I'll get around to it one day.

We, at the Latvian Chamber of Commerce for the UK use .uk instead of .co.uk (though own both).

I have seen quite a lot of people doing the same. And, of course, you need to have both. The winner is the Nominet, of course

The battle is on!

Yeah, it sounds like the .UK was withheld. Tbh whenever I offer my domains to someone if they are pair I offer them as such.

I'm just a good citizen like that, whoever's buying it deserves to have use of them together if they're buying and I'm selling it for the right price.

It's a bit of a sly move to offer the .uk after all is said and done in a sale imho but that's just my opinion.

I agree would be sensible to mention from start if you have both, but I personally think its fair game to treat them as separate entities these days. If you had pizza co.uk and uk and you know you can sell them both for loads, then why not ! Apparently extensions don't matter and it's all about content so they can both do just as well if you build them out.

As it happens, a Uniregistry broker handled it. I don't normally leave my names brokered because of the cost, but I obviously screwed something up on this config for this one because the first I knew about it was the email saying it had been sold

For what it's worth, I would always expect to buy or sell a pair as a pair. The decent thing.

Shame that it's some bs about climate change/net zero... but I suppose we'll take it as a win.

Ignorant.uk is for sale. ClimateDenier.uk is available to hand reg.

Thanks, but I'll follow the science rather than some YouTube no-mark. Physics doesn't care about opinions.

You're full of leftist sayings aren't you. All the nicest people are.

Some more leftist sayings for you Jiblob:

A load of paid nutters accusing another paid nutter of being a paid nutter.

Worry not - I assume everyone's a paid nutter.

I see that Vodafone and Three chose a .UK as part of their merge announcement

https://vodafoneandthree.uk/

nice!

Judging by the serverHold and serverUpdateProhibited status it might be because the .co.uk is under DRS or other kind of legal dispute:
https://rdap.uk/?type=domain&object=vodafoneandthree.co.uk

The .com was registered the same day/time with the same registrar as the .co.uk. It redirects to the .uk so maybe it isn't an abusive registration.

I was going to mention that the .co.uk is taken and suspended.

Nice to see another .uk being used for something high profile. Looks like they're not put off by the shorter non .co extension

Nice to see that that SEO domain fgdp.org.uk (previously the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK)) that appears to be selling well on domainlore have moved onto a nicer .UK domain https://cgdent.uk as the "College of General Dentistry"

Don't understand why they would let the old High ranker just drop though without using it as juice for the new one. Still..as you say...good for uk
