.co.uk,.org.uk,.me.uk

[slaughterbeck]

I like a popular phrase and I would like to reg. it in the UK but the .co.uk is taken, however, .me.uk and .org.uk are still available.


My question is which is better?

Hello,

Personally i would go with the .org.uk if you sre selling something or using the name for resale.

me.uk for a personal site as that is what most people in the uk use that ext for.

Hope this helps.

( or u could use uk.com i think this is more popular than the other 2 not 100% sure though)

There is the .ltd.uk option? Doesn't seem to be widely used, however.
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.ltd.uk&fr=ieas-dns

For .me.uk: 2.2 million
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.me.uk&ei=UTF-8&fr=ieas-dns&fl=0&x=wrt

For .org.uk: 15.9 million
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.org.uk&ei=UTF-8&fr=ieas-dns&fl=0&x=wrt

Based off that, I might say .org.uk , although it's hard to go anywhere but .co.uk.: (169 million)

Negative Ghostrider, pattern is full (Kudos if you know where that is from...).
uk.com is below .org.uk and .me.uk , and the quality of sites in the .uk.com namespace seems to be lacking (As well as declining).

(The second result on yahoo was not renewed, for example.)

I like .me.uk more, but they both are very bad

 

[1rrr1]

IMO both aren't' good, but .org.uk is the better

I love .me.uk in theory, but in reality .org.uk is far more widely used and recognised. A few people here may even have heard of .org.uk.

As for .me.uk, I would be shocked if anybody here outside of the domain industry had even heard of it.

actually I had heard about .me.uk before, but not .org.uk

if the site is purely for development...then maybe..., but if it is for value then no to both
