The .uk TLD was first used during the 1980s, and at that time a voluntary group called the Naming Committee managed the registration of .uk domain names.
The .uk [[ccTLD]] was first used during the 1980s, and at that time a voluntary group called the Naming Committee managed the registration of .uk domain names.
By the early 1990s, commercial companies started to sell domain names to customers. As demand for domain name registrations grew, it became clear that a voluntary group could no longer cope with the volume of registrations being requested. A new organization was needed to manage the .uk [[TLD]] and as a result Nominet UK was formed.
