Rules for .uk
domains
- Two letter names are not allowed -- they are
reserved for ISO country codes.
- Two character names are allowed. i.e.
3x.co.uk where the format is not aa.foo.uk.
- All second level names of .uk are banned from
being used as third level names. i.e. nhs.co.uk would be banned as it is a
second level name.
- All top level domains are banned from being
used as third level names. i.e. net.org.uk and org.co.uk are not
allowed.
- All one character domain names (ie
[a-z0-9].xxx.uk) are reserved for possible future sub-domain usage. The only
one currently delegated is X.CO.UK. The owner shall still maintain it unless
they volunteer to relinquish it.
- There shall be at least two nameservers for the
domain (with addresses specified in the request) operating at the time the
request is submitted. There is no restriction on the physical location or IP
address of these nameservers.
