They stand for different things though don't they... not that anyone pays attention:

co.uk is meant to be company in the UK
.net is general
.org is organisation
.com is company USA

It's probably something to do with what they are for.

I think that the ones listed above are the most useful though.

I got a .co.uk recently for £5.80 for 2 years.

www.1and1.co.uk

Search something and add a .co.uk ending, you get...

£2.99 p/year (min. 2 years)

Sorry - you were ripped off
