.co.uk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United Kingdom, where .co’ stands for ‘commercial’.
The first .co.uk domain was registered in 1985, and the shorter second-level .uk domain extension was made available for the first time in 2014. In total, there are today more than 10 million registered .co.uk users.
Nothing is more British than a .co.uk domain name, which makes it an excellent choice for any business operating in the UK.
This domain extension is multi-functional and can be used for a whole range of different purposes. You can even use the .co.uk domain for your business, even if you are based outside the UK.
Studies show that from search results, 70-80% of UK consumers would be more likely to choose a .co.uk website. Finally, a website with a .co.uk domain extension will also gain greater visibility in the UK (local) search engine results, automatically driving more traffic to your website.
