Interesting that they would allow such an odd domain to be registered in the first place. It seems like a big security hole.

- MatthewWilkes 12y agoWhy is that interesting? c.uk is a registered domain, the WHOIS for subdomains correctly states that it can't be registered.
- cbd1984 12y ago> Why is that interesting? Because I found it interesting.
- ars 12y agoNo, he means what do you find unusual about it. It seems like an ordinary name to me. Is it that it seems too easy to typo?

- MatthewWilkes 12y agoThe problem with c.uk. being an allowed domain is, I agree, very dodgy. This thread is about the WHOIS returning that it's not responsible for foo.c.uk. though which is absolutely what I'd expect.
- Yelwis 12y agoBecause .UK only allowed registrations at the third level for decades, i.e. example.co.uk, example.ac.uk etc. I think it's also the most-used CCTLD. Then they introduced second level domains, but they're still rarely used at present. ebay.uk and google.uk are registered, but don't do anything yet.
- MrSourz 12y agoYou're missing something here. The UK is a country that allows second-level domains e.g., co.uk, gov.uk, org.uk as well as just domains ending in .uk. This organizations owns c.uk (so the who-is you should lookup is just c.uk. What I find hard to believe is that ti looks like it was registered on: 10-Jun-2014!?

- iamben 12y agoYou need to own the .co.uk to get the .uk (at the minute), unless the .co.uk hasn't been registered.
- MrSourz 12y agoThat's a sensible practice. Thanks for the info!
- icebraining 12y agoWhat I find hard to believe is that ti looks like it was registered on: 10-Jun-2014!? That's the date when they started allowing registration for top level domains (before they just allowed second level).
