Us Brits may be constantly rained on, overly prone to queuing and responsible for chips and gravy (I still don’t understand northerners!), but at the end of the day we’re all still dreadfully fond of old Blighty. And when someone sees .uk domains, they know they’re getting something good because all the tea we drink is extremely hydrating for our brains. As of 8am, on 10th June, there’s a new way to show your love of internet and country; it’s less hazardous than trying chips and gravy, and your business can benefit from it too.
The new punchier .uk domain option is a-comin’, and on the 10th of next month will join .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk and the rest of the .uk gang. And, seeing as 81% of people searching or buying online prefer .uk domains, this is definitely something to get in on.
The window for reserving a .uk domain if you already have a .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .net.uk, .ltd.uk or .plc.uk runs up until 7.59 am on 10 June 2019.
