What's up with the .co.uk domain?

+3
−0

Many UK based websites' domain names are under the .co.uk second-level domain. I.e. site.co.uk. Most other countries (and other top-level domains too) seem to just forgo the in-between domain levels: site.topdomain.

Why do they use it in the UK?

samcarter‭ thanks for the link. Now that you mention it, I have seen co.il too. I hadn't realized how many others there are.

Monica Cellio‭ Some of these domains are probably not the biggest ones in existence - I don't think I've ever come across a site from the Cook Islands :)
