In the last week Nominet has reported that the six millionth domain has been registered.

For a ccTLD that's an impressive figure by any estimation. From the report:

"The continued increase in .co.uk registrations indicates that British Internet users recognise the value of having a .co.uk address. A recent survey of 2,324 Internet users, carried out by YouGov demonstrated that users were six times more likely to choose a .uk rather than .com address when looking for information via an Internet search engine."

Detailed stats are available on their site.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of registrants are UK based, as the registry has an open policy (the registrant class wouldn't work too well for this).
