What are international domain names?

Originally endings such as .CO.UK referred to UK registered companies, but more recently it just means some kind of UK entity whether it is a person, a company, and so on.

There are over 200 alternative endings available in total, and a variety of rules and regulations are applicable for registering a domain name in certain countries. If you find that the domain you want is not available with a .CO.UK ending, then try .COM and .NET - they don't necessarily imply that you are a US citizen or company, since they are often used to suggest an international or worldwide entity.
