All domain names are accessible from anywhere in the world,
there is no performance difference.
One of the main difference is in that .com's are perceived
as being international and .co.uk's are seen as being UK based.
Therefore if your company has an international market a .com
domain would be a good choice whereas, .co.uk is ideal for
companies primarily focused upon the UK.
.co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk, domains are registered with Nominet,
the UK Internet names organisation, and will be registered
on your behalf on the understanding that you have read and
accept their terms
and conditions.
.ltd.uk and .plc.uk domains can only be registered by the
limited company or plc who's name correspond with that company.
.com. net and .org domains can be registered for between
1 and 10 years,
.biz, .info domains must be registered for between 2 and
10 years.
