RE: UKNM: are .com domains necessary for startups?

I'd always try www.davesparts.co.uk first, even if its a multinational. I

typically want UK prices, UK contact numbers, etc.


Also, I'd hazard a guess that more UK companies use the .co.uk rather than

the .com or both, simply due to the lack of available .com domains, and for

SMEs, the price difference.


So, if I'm typical, it makes sense to get the .co.uk rather than the .com if

you can only have one.


Obviously, if you are setting up some global web-based thing like

hotmail.com, then this changes everything...
