Don’t you forget about ME!

As the former country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) for Montenegro, .ME, gears up to be operated as a generic name space (open registration begins 17th July 2008), it got me thinking about a lesser recognised domain name extension that is already available to register, .ME.UK.

The .ME.UK domain name was introduced at the beginning of 2002 and was intended for personal use e.g. Mr John Doe registering johndoe.me.uk. The explosion of personal blogs over the last couple of years and the saturation of other domain name spaces such as .com and .co.uk, should put the .ME.UK extension in a strong position to capitalise on both. According to the last Nominet Domain name industry report:

“With 100k registrations .me.uk only accounts for 1.7% of the register, but the growing importance of establishing a personal web presence and using a personal email address means that this remains an area with significant potential.”

Meaning there is a good chance the domain name you want is still available within the .ME.UK name space. Registering a memorable name is key to getting traffic to your site it also makes your email address a lot easier to remember.

So what are you waiting for? Go and register your .ME.UK domain name today, add our blog hosting package to it, and then you can tell the world all about you!
