Global launch of .uk domain to ‘appeal to’ and ‘attract’ overseas customers, says UKHost4U
 A leading web hosting provider UKHost4U celebrates the recent launch of the shorter and sharper .uk domain

 

The .uk domain has already received a hive of interest from businesses and website owners in the UK and abroad since becoming available on the 10th June 2014.

 

According to research carried out by internet specialists, the .uk domain is a terrific opportunity for overseas customers, attracting significant interest in the last month alone, appealing to the more tech savvy population who are engaged on a digital level. Offering a more tailored domain solution for individuals and businesses wishing to operate within the British Isles, the .uk domain looks set to provide a wealth of new internet possibilities for millions of web users, placing full emphasis where it should rightly be... on your website name!

 

Those with current .co.uk domain names automatically gain the first right to purchase their .uk domain, having been reserved for them for a period of 5 years at no cost, as long as their current domain remains registered. If the company or individual chooses not to register the new domain it will be released for anyone to purchase, including personal domain addresses such as johnsmith.uk etc.

 

With locations in Fife and Maidenhead, leading web hosting professionals UKHost4U regularly responds to industry news. A spokesperson for the company believes that the recent .uk launch is great news for the UK market and customers seeking valued British domain names from outside the UK, saying:

 

 “Moving to meet the demands and digital trends of an ever increasing online community, the .uk domain has been met with rapturous applause. As our business is firmly rooted within competent and competitive web hosting services, domain registration and more, we look forward to the future of the .uk domain with vigour and positivity.”

 

Those .uk web addresses that do not have a corresponding, registered .co.uk domain are available to secure now and do not require the initial registering of a .co.uk or.com domain name. Prices for these are the same as current .co.uk domains, with full domain pricing tables easily found on many web hosting websites in addition to UKHost4U. In addition, the spokesperson for the popular hosting company added;

 

“The majority of customers currently hosting their .co.uk domain names with us directly will incur no extra hosting costs whilst parking the domain name on our servers. As valued customers, UKHost4U continually look towards making your experience hassle free and pleasurable, saving you time and money on additional hosting costs.”

 

There to provide all assistance with securing .uk domain names and any other popular endings, UKHost4U invite users to check the availability of their .uk web addresses via their website at www.host4U.co.uk today.
