Re: OT: .com registrar

["Mal Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is, but the thing about .com (and to a lesser extent .co.uk) is that it
is the first choice for most people if they are trying to guess a company's
web address.

I for one would never think of trying .ltd.uk - I would do a Google search
if .co.uk or .com didn't bring up the site I was looking for - and by doing
that I might stumble across a competitor!
