I’m thinking of starting a UK version of The Website Design Award, I have been looking around for UK registrars, and found a great one at Buy Domain Name. They supply all the UK TLD’s at a very competitive price (In fact, it might be the cheapest I have ever seen at just 2.70 per year).
Owning a UK domain name doesn’t mean you have to host in the UK; you can point the domain at any hosts nameserver worldwide. UK domain names are recognised in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in much the same way as .com’s are in the US; often web surfers will choose to visit a UK domain rather than a .com as they know the content will be relevant geographically.
