.co.uk on Bluehost

[cdpuk]

Hi, I'm sure I read somewhere that .co.uk domains cannot be used on bluehost. I already have an account and .co.uk domain with www.123-reg.co.uk but I'd like to be able to use it on bluehost really.

Is there really no way it can be used?

Thanks

Just change the nameservers at 123-Reg, Chris. A .co.uk will work on Bluehost.

The only thing you may want to consider regarding a .co.uk domain is whether you are hoping to get UK-specific traffic from the Search Engines. Google, Yahoo and MSN all use varying forms of geo-targeting and will pinpoint the location of the website to help them deliver it to the correct audience. If you want uk traffic I would advise hosting on uk based servers.

If it doesn't matter where the traffic comes from and your overall intended user base is worldwide, then Bluehost will be just fine.
