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.
