I bet you'll have to live north of the border though so sorry Rik.

Here's hoping .England or .Eng comes next.

I bet they won't care where you live!

To get a .uk you have to live or have operations in the UK and for .ie have to have the same in Ireland (I did try for an .ie because I am partly Irish but no chance)

[Simon]

Obviously the wrong part.

How about a site about Greece and Scottish food? It would end .gr.eat.scot!

[Simon]

Quick, register it!  That could be worth a fortune!

Someone has already done a couple of clever ones. Just as a hint, .org has so many possibilities.

Fortunately, cheap domain names are available to everyone just buy a .im (Isle of Man), so far every .im domain we have wanted was available, hard to find any sensible ones on the old TLDs

I was lucky I was able to secure my surname on the .com and .net TLDs (I also registered my full name as a .com) and the and my surname on the .co.uk and .org.uk 2nd level domains.

[Technical Ben]

I'd probably be able to do the same. Because no one can spell mine.

[pctech]

Yep, mine often gets misspelt too.
