Will the hostpay resellers be able to provide the same service to their customers?
Is there a minimum character limit of 3? So I can’t register for example co.co?
Thanks,

I am not sure about this TLD, either someone will assume you missed the ‘m’ off a .com or will assume they need to add a .uk to the end to make it work. Its neither one thing or the other. Is the reason they have introduced this becasue the .com’s are running out?

.co is Columbia’s TLD and they have chosen to commercialise it in the same way Tuvalu did with .tv
I think it will take bit of getting used to for people to get miss off the ‘m’ or ‘.uk’ but it won’t take long and it is a genuine alternative domain extension for businesses.

hi, are you not offering this domain in the landrush or sunrise phases?
Thanks.
Zi,
We will be registering the domains when the general availability opens on 20th July.
