Short names will appear in the UK domain zone

The administrator of the UK domain zone .UK plans to begin registering short domain names.

One- and two-letter domains will be available to everyone in the .co.uk, .org.uk, and several other extensions. The .net.uk domain extension is intended only for telecommunications companies, and me.uk is only for individuals.

The priority registration period will begin on December 1, 2010, and will last until January 17, 2011. During this period, registration will be available only to trademark owners.

During the second registration period, companies will be able to obtain the domain, and during the third, individuals.

Let us remind you that recently the registration of short domains has becomeavailablein the .travel domain zone.
