Top Level Domains
There is, and should be, no restriction whatsoever with .COM. If you want it (and most people do) get it. It is a non-geographic generic TLD and often the most desirable. Also .ltd.uk are not very desirable, and they can only be registered by a UK Limited company with the same name, so...- puterDude
