Nominet, the .uk registry operator, reports that the .uk domain name has passed the 7 million registrations mark. 1 Million of these domains have been registered in the last year alone.


A recent survey of British Internet users (performed by Opinion Matters) showed that 72% of users are more likely to choose a .uk over a .com when looking for informatin online

The .ME Registry recently announced that they had registered more than 100,000 domain names in just over 2 weeks of opening up domain registration to the general public.


According the the Registrar, more than a thousand auctions are open for popular .ME domains. A couple completed auctions of note were “lasvegas.me” for $15,105 and “chatwith.me” for $15,035.


I am a little suprised as to how well .ME is doing - however I still think that in the long run .ME will probably have about as much name recognition as .info, .biz or .mobi — which is to say a lot less name recognition than .com.
