What makes .CO.UK so special?

.CO.UK is a second-level domain to .UK - the country code top-level domain name for the United Kingdom and one of the most popular top-level domains on the Internet. It can only be registered by UK related entities (citizens, residents, or organizations) and is used both for commercial and general purposes. Since it is not possible to register a domain name directly under the root .UK extension, all applicable registrants could only register second-level domains to the main domain .UK. Besides .CO.UK, other second-level .UK domains include .ME.UK and .ORG.UK.
