xhana and smeagain are both right but I have a very stong felling that olimits7 is VERY keen about using a particular name which ties in with the brand he is trying to promote in UK.

Brand Loyalty at all costs can be to the detriment of a sites performance particularly when moving into a new Geographic Area such as the UK. Whatever your Brand, I suspect that almost nobody in the UK has heard of it so the only reason to use it at all costs is Your own personal pride or vanity.

Sorryto be so blunt, but to me it is the success of the site that is more important than my pride or vanity when I choose a Domain Name in a Crowded Market where it is normal to find the Ideal Name to have long gone.

true but that way you still get to have the same domain name without using obscure uk ones if the .co.uk one is taken.
