    The current bid for healthcare.uk on DL is over £30k.

    Not to distract from the auction or undermine it in any way, but am I missing something?

    The .co.uk doesn’t resolve, its not a keyword like “insurance”.

    Any thoughts?

    I know you're not a fan of the uk (still think you're wrong) but probably will go up more I reckon.

    £30,450 in the end.

    Also in the last few hours someone also bought Cozy.co.uk (the American spelling of cosy) for £1,500 which surprised me.

    Nice word but I didn't think that the American spellings of things in .UK was a good idea...

    most big firms are recognised names, I can’t imagine them re-branding to a .uk especially if they don’t own the .co.uk

    When the NHS is sold off, plenty new names will appear - plus insurance, referrals, all sortsp

    Overpriced. Will sit broken and empty for 10 years before it's dropped again.

    Ha! I see a couple of the Fasthosts names are still yet to drop. Seems to be a select few... jme.uk was one I was watching today, didn't drop.

    healthcare.uk just looks more official than healthcare.co.uk think of nhs.uk and public perception...

    When you consider nhs.uk is getting massive exposure at moment may give .uk a boost.

    Good news for .uk and understandable that it's drawn interest during the times we're in! It's definitely a head turner though at 30k+!
