I think this is a good demo to share with family and am glad this organization has c.uk. Another more general example to share with family is: http://www2.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com.online.authentication.authentication.bns.c.uk/ http://www2.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com.online.authenticatio... These are both cases where the subdomain can trick people. The .c.uk one is a bit more dangerous as they claim a lot of people end up landing on those pages. I had a quick look through some other second level domains to see if anyone else had a site like this. The more details on two level domains here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-level_domain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-level_domain

What I find hard to believe and just realized was that this domain was registered on 10-Jun-2014. Edit: People were first able to register .uk domains last year, and if the .co.uk domain already exists then you must own it in order to register the .uk domain.

  Direct registrations under .uk (and not just .co.uk, .org.uk etc) were only opened last year.

    That explains it; I was completely baffled. I wonder how much of a bidding war there was for this domain.

      The owner of the .co.uk has first dibs, so in this case there was no bidding war.
