TIL that ".me.uk" is the domain reserved for "personal names" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.uk#Active https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.uk#Active Which is pretty cool, considering that when I registered a domain under ".us" in 1993, I used our street address as the leaf node, and I've seen a few random "StonesFamily.org" or similar; it's nice for UK persons to stake a claim here. How long has it been active? How do they resolve disputes? Do they permit subdomains for family groups?

> How long has it been active? I think pretty much forever at this point, the only addition to .uk in recent memory is the ability to register .uk TLD itself (before it was all second-level only). I think it might have been around the 2000's when they introduced me.uk. > How do they resolve disputes? AFAIK me.uk falls back to the general rule of "first-come first-serve". The only real requirement for me.uk is that it has to be registered in the name of a natural person and not an agent, trustee, proxy or representative. Any transfer or renewal has to continue to adhere to this rule. There is no UK nationality or residency requirement for me.uk either AFAIK. Disputes fall back to Nominet's standard Dispute Resolution Service. > Do they permit subdomains for family groups? Not AFAIK. Well, of course you can register the base me.uk and DIY DNS subdomains.
