.co vs .uk
Two ccTLDs with different global positioning. The .uk extension targets the British market with strong local trust, while .co has been repositioned for global startup use. British businesses transitioning from .co.uk face this choice directly.
Choose .uk if your primary market is the United Kingdom. Choose .co for a global startup brand or if you want a shorter, internationally-oriented domain.
