Why do all UK webites end with .co.uk instead of just .uk? Is it because they didn't want to fall behind the US (.com)?
 
i have no idea, but the reason you gave is very funny :)
 
.co.uk is for COmpanies (COrporations?) in UK. It's just the rules set up buy the .uk domain. For instance (until a while ago) the .se domain had some similar rules too, like personal sites had to use the .pp.se domain.

.com isn't really the USA domain. .com is a general domain for companies. .us is the USA domain afaik but I've never seen it used.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
