This being the cctld section of namepros I am sure the answers I get here will be somewhat bias:) But here is my questions:

I found several niche generic domains with rather good overture. I was debating on getting the .net or the .co.uk version.

Revenue is important in this decision with it being a solid overture number with .com I know this would do great, but obviously not many people would choose to type mygoodgenericname.net, BUT my do people type megoodgenericname.co.uk????

Thoughts? Sorry, I am just wading into the international ext world but was wondering how well generics do for type-ins.

Thanks for any help!!!!!

Regardless of Brexit, England...and more importantly London will remain the economic capital of Europe. What you must realize is that the only way .co.uk losses value is if there is a lasting change in the confidence towards the pound sterling. Although there was a very brief reaction in the markets due to Brexit, I strongly believe that capital inflows into the UK will remain consistent in the long run. Also it's quite sensationalist to believe that Brexit will kill the .co.uk cctld. Even if the UK loses Scotland for example...its still a kingdom. In addition to this there are numerous political and economical complexities that would make it difficult for most countries within the Kingdom to become completely autonomous. Also I think it is illogical to assume that the UK would make detrimental policy changes to their own economy, like any competitive developed country increased yearly foreign investment is a key aspect of maintaining geopolitical dominance and the tax policies that will follow Brexit should reflect that. These changes will represent the kingdoms plan for the future, and indirectly for youth the of the nation. Will the EU make it harder to do business in the UK? No I don't think so because that would be the like asking the milkman to stop delivering milk to your doorstep every morning. There definitely will be some kind of dialogue and debate towards increased taxation and duties but it doesn't make sense to assume that those taxes will be enough to force multinational European companies to begin diminishing their business relations with the UK, not only is the market far too developed for significant change to happen in the short run or even in the medium term (5-8 years)...its just doesn't seem to be in the best interest of current AND future business owners within Europe. The EU will have to adapt because straining the UK, economically speaking...is like straining the heart of Europe.

PS...don't take this too seriously...I am a ranting Canadian economics student.

The UK is not the heart of Europe and the EU's economy is in no way depended on the UK for it's survival. UK's trade figures pales in comparison to the combined union of other member states.

Products and services provided by the UK to other EU member states has enjoy a free trade environment whilst being a member of the EU.

With the advent of Brexit the UK will no longer enjoy this level playing field, there is no doubt that almost all products and services provided by the UK to other member states will have greater taxes and/or duties imposed on them.

What this means is the UK will become less competitive within the EU. EU consumers and businesses will have to pay more for products and services from the UK, this alone will make .co.uk a less attractive destination for EU member states to visit and do business. Ask you tutors what they think, I'm sure they will agree.

May also remind you that the UK's decision to leave the EU was not decided by the economic masterminds that I have no doubt exist in London but a collective decision by a much less informed general public who quite frankly have very little working knowledge of the complicated structure and workings of the EU.

PS: Coming from the Republic of Ireland we have a vested interest in the UK's economy and remain heavily reliant on them as a trading partner.

I'm not talking about a single domain but the entire namespace of .co.uk

The Question I was asking:

Anyone think .co.uk domains will become less popular after brexit ?

I may start a thread on this subject to highlight the possible threats.

Do you think being with Europe is the reason behind the value of .co.uk?

No!! It is the policy and the approach of the Britons that gives power to .co.uk. I see no how the European Community can influence the value of .co.uk; hence they add no value to the extension ever before.
You can even see that it is not only Britons that are using .co.uk. The British economy is the major force behind the value of the extension and thus brought business people to set up in UK, the extension and brexit has nothing to do with each other.

You know Britain is the most powerful economy in EU; so it is EU that will feel the impact more than UK

Every EU community believe in their various extension and can not have a split influence when brexit is in fool force.IMO

Hello,

I'm not familiar with .co.uk, but I wonder if there is a reseller floor price/market, for cvcv.co.uk ?

Thanks!

Do NNN.co.uk have any value? Can't find any sales data anywhere.

I don't think there has been any NNN sales publicly listed.
Oh right ok thanks. Do you think this is because nobody wants them or because nobody sells them?

Could be a mixture of both. I also find it likely that if there were any NNN sales, they were private.

Yeah that's true I guess. Numbers don't have as much importance for the British either as for other markets. LLL are more useful than NNN I would think.
