Merseyside building and shopfitting outfit Klassik Builders has registered the six millionth .co.uk web address.

The earth-shattering internet tidings were brought by Nominet, the not-for-profit which is in charge of promoting and administering the .co.uk top level domain. It passed the five million mark in May last year, and reckons .co.uk addresses are now six times more popular with UK businesses than .com ones.

Klassikbuilders.co.uk was registered on 18 June by the firm, which is equally comfortable with electrics as it is fitting uPVC windows. Nominet didn't give the lads at Klassik a prize, so they can have their link.

Classicbuilders.co.uk is owned by powerhouse northwest contracting rival Classic Builders of Bury. But for all you domain carpet baggers out there, klassicbuilders.co.uk and classikbuilders.co.uk are still available.®
