A quiet revolution took place on the 10 June 2014 |

For the first time since the dawn of the Internet it is now possible for you to own a direct .uk domain
We have all been used to emailing contacts abroad using .nl (Netherlands) .de (Germany) .it (Italy) and .fr (France). But we were always limited to a second level domain in the UK. e.g. .co.uk or .org.uk etc.
Released on the 10 June 2014, Nominet released the right to register .uk domains for the first time.
Why bother with a .uk domain?
A simple explanation of where websites exist
Files or pages of websites physically exist on a Web Server which is basically a big computer linked to the Internet.
The Internet describes the collection of computers and servers linked around the world. If you imagine the links between all these computers randomly joining up it might look like a very complicated spiders web or fishing net - There for we get descriptive terms like the World Wide Web, or the Net.
As servers on the internet are accessible from any other computers on the internet around the world it can be fairly unimportant precisely where the server exists - Although if you want reliable servers for serving mainly UK clients it is best to use dedicated servers in the UK.
When you view a website on your computer it loads the files or pages and each image, layout colours etc into your computer. So temporarily the web pages you are viewing physically reside as files on your computer. So where is the website now? Some people like to describe that websites exist in a virtual place called cyberspace.
