Cool fact - .uk isn't the official tld for great britain.
The official one is .gb
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y ago.uk is also the UK's though. The country code is explicitly reserved by the UK, and it exists in DNS because they grandfathered in some old system's domains.
- Jaruzel 7y agoCooler fact, GB and UK are different. UK is GB + Northern Ireland. Scotland already have .Scot and I think Wales have thier own also. Not sure I've seen a .England though.
- mehrdadn 7y ago.en would seem apt.
- teddyh 7y agoNo. The official TLD – i.e. “Top Level Domain”, is .uk. It differs from the normal ISO 3166 two-character country code, GB, even though most other countries have an identical TLD and ISO two-character code. The TLD .gb is merely reserved to deter shenanigans.
- Symbiote 7y agoBoth .GB and .UK are the country code top-level domains; .GB because that's the official code, and .UK for legacy reasons. UK is a reserved ISO 3166 code, to prevent complications with DNS TLD assignment. The .GB TLD is in use, but there are only three known domains. This is one: host hermes.dra.hmg.gb hermes.dra.hmg.gb has address 146.80.9.16 hermes.dra.hmg.gb mail is handled by 10 relay.dstl.gov.uk.
