.uk .UK domain name release

NameSilo
Watch
Is anyone registering .UK domains? They opened registration for anyone and there's a bunch of great one-word domains up for grabs. I haven't heard much about this extension on this forum and wanted to know all of your take.

UK residents already owning the .CO.UK extension received first dibs of its equivalent but now it's open registration. These .UK names seems to be much more better and catchy than .co.uk, but we'll see how things go. I suppose it's still too early to say.

There's still many great domains up for grab.

There is no reserve.

I'd have swapped you something like

Rooms cleaned. Com

For

Room. uk

But as you know how to get an account on

DL etc can you show me how as they don't recognise my free email address so I can't list my. uk on a uk Auction website etc

Room will be suspended soon...
According to WHOIS - registrant data wasn't validated.

Just acquired BitcoinATM.uk for 99 GBP on SEDO. What'd u think


Doesn't look promising to me as per my experience in the UK space. As of now, 3L, and 1 - word .uk might have some chance in resale. Remaining ones would take a long time to see the light of the day. That's just my opinion though.

very true these other names are very rare to sell...

It might be booming but do they need a domain properly not also looking at any sales with this term most have sold around $10 - $20

great result - the .uk auctions on domainlore and ukbackorder are doing well.

if a .uk domain is available to hand register today, does that mean that it is free from .co.uk owner and i will have full rights to own it after i register it ?

If the .UK is free now it's as free as any other domain. There is no connection between any two .co.uk and .UK combination.

I hope that helps

The plural rooms is up for auction now. Domainlore are in the zone. They must be the best out there.

Yes flying for a .uk but some names have been going for bargains this is all a buying frenzy and will slow down soon...

Yes it is patchy but a lot of these premium .uk domains will be developed and I think they'll continue getting good prices. Nominet should have stuck with the old system which worked well and these prices are only at the expense of the .co.uk market which has definitely been damaged. Time will tell as to which one comes out on top.

I guess it's a solid brandable word with many possibilities, and perhaps better than creature. Definitely shorter! Hope to buy one more in the auctions
