Any1 know where can i see how many .co.uk are currently registered ?

Stats on the Nominet website: http://www.nominet.org.uk/intellige...s/registration/

There is an excellent forum for .UK (google acorndomains) - mods, delete this if outward promo of other forums is not allowed.

There is a guy who says he makes good money from .co.uk - there was an interview about him in the Guardian and a post here - http://www.netmonetization.com/2008...rom-clicks.html - he may even post on NP - his names appear to be a mixture of minisites and parked pages
There is also a thread somewhere on NP about a UK parking company - if somebody could pot the link - I can't find it

There is currently a 'paper' form that needs filling in to complete a transfer, however scanned +emailed copies are accepted. The online systems are due to go full online including transfer at some point as Nominet now uses EPP.

There is good money in .UK , www.domanprices.co.uk has public data, and a browse of the top keywords will give you a good example of age / coverage.

There are a couple of UK parking companies such as Streamic , Sedo now have a UK office etc.
