.org,
or simply change the name off Yous site and register a .com version, or in Your case co.uk version.

Wow, that name sucks. You should get a .COM if you are looking for that kind of quality ... :dead:

.ORG is the second best extension (.COM is #1, obviously).

.BIZ blows.

Next question?

I'd also go for the .ORG version of the domain, because .BIZ domains are not
popular at all. Therefore it should be much easier to promote the .org domain.
Just my two cents.

If you're going to use the domain to front your business then go with .biz - .org would make no sense at all.

You could always consider .uk.com, which is already used used by a number of large UK companies. Registration / Renewal fees are expensive but availability is good so you would probably find a much better name available for registration. Just an idea :cheeky:
