.uk domains
What would the price be- £2 or £3?
Also, would you be able to register it as free when it runs out?
Otherwise you'd pay £4 for the 2 year period?
They probley park the domains and advertise via em to bring in money

What happens to OVH when 75% of people who bought .uk's decide to ditch them at the second year? Uber-loss much?
Like myself lol

Anyway, after the 2nd year it will be released back to the public so anyone can buy it.

Thanks.
P.S. Why do you refer to .co.uk as ".uk" ? Just quicker?

If I decide not to renew my domain through ovh after the first year, will I have to wait until the 2nd year is up before it expires, then making it able to registered again?
Do you think one of them companies will snap up the domain after it expires, thus making it not able to be registered? That has happened to a domain with my friend in the past.
Hope you understand

Ive just checked all my domains ive registered this year and they expire next year, which is one year.
For example this is what i see on one registered earlier in Sept.

Thats right, its common knowledge that .uk domains need to be registered for 2 years at a time.

you posted while I was typing!
Ok thanks for replying I guessed this might be the case, I guess it saves a few pounds!
Oh right you could be right, its just that the first post said free for a year?
You have to pay the 2nd year if not it gets held on inactive

i think it says you get it for 2 years, no/
sounds good, I am guessing once the year is up you are required to renew at cost?
365 renewals could become quite expensive?
Can anyone confirm this?
thanks

you can get 365 .uk domains in a year? what?
I believe the offer is 1 per customer per day, so yes, it is all the time at the moment.
are .uk domains free for a year all the time now?
Its been going for quite awhile
