| Subject: Landmark 10 millionth .uk site registered with Nominet Fri Mar 16, 2012 3:33 am | |
| The 10 millionth web address ending in .uk has been claimed by the founder of Hampshire-based firm, SN Technologies.
swarvemagazine.co.uk was registered by Steven Northam for a photography-based publication set to launch this summer.
Registration service Nominet described the news as a "mega-milestone". It took charge of the top-level domain name in 1996 when there were 26,000 .uk sites.
However, it faces a shake-up with a huge explosion in the number of international domains later this year.
Mr Northam seemed slightly thrown by the unexpected publicity.
"It's one of our new investments" he told the BBC.
"Basically a lot of it's not public yet, so I don't want to say too much."
