the_bloke Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Traditionally .com addresses are for US based businesses, but plenty of UK based business have .com domains. Tesco, Asda, Morissons, M&S to name a few. Why should they be forced to have a .co.uk address? Edit: Here is a list of all the top level domain suffixes around the world; very few of them have a requirement that the registrant has to be based from the country associated with the suffix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains#Country_code_top-level_domains Edited January 24, 2021 by the_bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 20 hours ago, Delbow said: What would that involve? As I said: form a UK subsidiary for less than £50. It usually comes with a free domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Is 'prestige' a real concept any more? Who would refuse to use a firm merely because it was .co.uk rather than .com? (Remember that, in Victorian days, 'prestige' wasn't such a buzz-word. Instead, it was used in the sense of illusion, magic trick, charm, ability to inspire admiration, prestige, from the French but originally the Latin praestīgiae, tricks, probably alteration of *praestrīgiae, from praestringere, to touch, blunt, blind : prae-, pre- + stringere, to draw tight).
