Who are the LTD & PLC domain names for?
The suffixes .ltd.uk and .plc.uk are reserved for companies who are registered as a Limited or Public Limited Company. When applying for these names, the naming authority will contact Companies House and do a manual search to establish if you are the company who own the rights to that business title. Nominet (The UK Registrar) are extremely strict as to how your name must appear. For example If Freezone Internet Ltd wanted to register this name, we would need to submit the application for Freezoneinternet.ltd.uk. Freezone could not shorten the name in any way i.e. Freezone.ltd.uk only the full registered name is acceptable.
