What are these "CentralNic" extensions > http://www.centralnic.com/ , like: ...UK.COM, ...DE.COM, ...EU.COM... and how accepted and recognized they are?

forget uk.com it'll never be anything like .co.uk. Waste of space really no one even knows it exists unless your in the business.

Just what I thought. I just heard of them today, because they had something listed on Sedo, and for a second there I thought it must have been a mistake in spelling of the extension.

Thanks.

Buy the way, how used and accepted are CO.UK's in Britain? I know, it's a national domain, but I don't know the usage. Is it ANYWHERE NEAR like in Germany, where people usually type in .DE, before considering .COM?

The reason I'm asking, is because today, I registered three, what I think are very, very decent CO.UK's.

yes and no.

If you've been using the internet for a while .com is the one that springs to mind. But i have a few 'less internet literate' mates who dont know wot a .com is but when u say .co.uk they know its a website straight away.

Alot of people arent educated about the internet in this country about the internet in any other way apart from checking out yahoo chat rooms.

What about ME.UK? What is that .ME stands for?

AFAIK .me.uk is marketed for personal domain names -- like the .name extension
