(UK) Domain Purchase

[Matrix]

Hello,

Is there any rule to purchase a domain name ? Are .co.uk domain reserved for only UK citizens?

[James]

You can buy any domain name with any extension except .us coz its available only for US residents.

[Peter]

No you cannot just register a domain with any extension. Not only .us but others like .eu for European Union, .it for Italy, .ca for Canada. .au for Australia and .sg for Singapore and a lot of others do require local presence to register their ccTLDs.

Anyone can purchase .co.uk domain there is no restriction on it like some other domains.

To register a .ca domain you need to have a local presence. Refer to this link to know more about the Special requirements to register .ca domains at " godomains.com.au/info/ca "

as i've heard u can buy a co.uk domain all over the world, there is no rule telling you it don't..

.ca and .us need Canada and US residential address but .co.uk has no such restrictions. No other UK extensions have any such restrictions, but the .uk.com is the most costly extension compared to any other available domain TLD's.
