Registering .co.uk names

[rzpvile]

Do you have to be a resident of the UK to register these names? On GoDaddy it is only giving me a two year option to own it is this normal? Hope you guys can answer these questions for me.

No restriction of countries. Though you need to use Non-UK registration as your legal type of registration contact. I think you can register for 2 years maximum as of this date. You may want to check with Nominet UK at http://www.nic.uk

Hope this help, let me know if you have any question. By the way, I also post this question to answer.net for other newbie. I hope you don't mind.

That's right, and UK names are get on a 2 years registration basis, then after you keep renewing them every two years.

You may also want to look at the transfer costs involved if you plan to sell,

i've never sold a name (.co.uk) so i cannot comment on how much work/time is invloved.

Just something to be aware of.

The transfer fee is a shame thoug.
