Last month, in November 2009 the .uk register passed another significant milestone when it reached eight million registrations. The 8 millionth domain name lambethsuperhomes.org.uk was registered by Lambeth Super Homes based in London. So if you make the sum of all registered .co.uk, .org.uk, .net.uk,… names, you reach the amount of 8 million registrations. So the .uk extension is doing a great job.
Moreover Nominet (.uk registry) also announced that since August 2008, 1 million new .uk names were registered despite a small drop in registrations in May 2009. Moreover, reports also show that 70% of the people who register a .uk name also renew this name. Obviously, Nominet is very pleased with this numbers.
