Yep, if you're a business you must display full contact details for the business on the website. They should be clear and useful. Link.

Make that VERY cheap.
Did you know you could be countrycrafts.org.uk for £1.99 a year?
With mail service included...

https://uk2.net/domains/

.org.uk is reserved for non profit organisations though. So it would be misleading to use that (or .org) .co.uk or .com would be the right TLD to use.

I don't believe its *reserved* for *non-profit* organisations.
Appropriate for, most certainly. But not I believe *reserved* for.
IMHO the catch-all of .org(.uk) ain't misleading...
For example https://www.navitron.org.uk/

Now countrycrafts.CO.UK and .COM are taken.
However .ORG.UK & .LTD.UK & .ME.UK are available *all* at £1.99 each per year via the link above.
Strictly IMHO, .ltd.uk is wrong if he isn't a limited company, and .me.uk is a bit pink and fluffy... which is why I suggested the .org.uk

And CKR will note that the £1.99 includes forwarding web requests to wherever he has his webspace...

I found this on a nother forum. "By law, all mail shots, paper information etc needs to have a contact name and address on it. A business card should include: Name of business (& nature of business or tag line) Business adress Telephone number (could also include a mobile number) email address web site address"

Sounds good then. In a past business I could only get a .uk.com and it worked well.

Have you looked at Ebay Express Dave? It's a new thing where you just buy, so it's not an auction. Worth a look for your type of thing I would think?

You have to have a Ltd company number and name that matches the web name you want to register, it checks...

...and how did we find this out...

well when it first came out, we noticed that tesco.ltd wasn't taken. It'd be rude not to try and buy it now wouldn't it

Sadly, you can't unless you have the company name registered
