.co.uk Advantage VS .org.uk ?

straWbob · 04-20-2007, 12:44 PM

I was wondering...

In the United Kingdom, does .co.uk resolve in a similar manner as .com's do? Wondering if there's an advantage for .CO.UK versus a .ORG.UK overseas?

.co.uk is much valued than .org.uk .I have never seen any website with .org.uk

There are plenty of .org.uk sites, but they're almost all small, UK-only, non-profit organistations.
There is also the fact that many people, myself included, tend to automatically press enter after the org and go to a different site. I always forget the .uk on faw.org.uk for example.

.co.uk is a several-thousand-times-better extension than .org.uk in almost every instance. You are more likely to sell a .co.uk if you're reslleing the name, you are less likely to lose traffic than you would with a .org.uk.
If your site is UK-targeted then you'll be pleased to know that .co.uk is (apparently) favoured above .com in the minds of the UK populace- I'll dig out the link with that info after...

People expect non-profits in the .org.uk extension?
