gridwatch.org.uk and gridwatch.templar.co.uk are both the same

gradwatch.co.uk is the "imposter"

What about http://gridwatch.uk?

Where would you recommend that redirected to. Perhaps a choice of the
two above.

It's entirely down to who owns (or has registered) the domains, it
doesn't just 'happen' that gridwatch.uk points to either of the other
sites (or is an alias for them, or whatever). Whoever 'owns'
gridwatch.uk can point it to whatever they like or put their own
content there.

All of the above sites *could* be totally different and independent.

For a business it might make sense to hoover-up dozens of related domain
names and hashtags. For a useful site like gridwatch it's nice to have
*a* domain, but if you start the numbers game, where do you stop?

That's answering "where would they be allowed to redirect it". My
question was "where would you recommended" (and maybe even "please give
your reasons").

When the .uk domains were introduce there was a period when the owner of
the equivalent .co.uk had the right to register the .uk That sunrise
period expired last year. So not surprising that it redirects to the .co.uk

How can anyone 'recommend'? I could recommend that gridwatch.uk
points to gridwatch.co.uk but it would be meningless, what do you
think (or expect) would happen if I did?

Ay? No. During the "period when the owner ..." the owner of the co.uk
could register the .uk domain and (if they wanted) could point it to
the .co.uk one. After the period anyone could register the .uk and
use it as they wanted. If the .uk points to the .co.uk then someone
must have registered it and set it up to point to the .co.uk one, it
doesn't happen by default.

Well of course they *could*, the point is that there are not many .uk
and most of those have probably been registered defensively by the owner
of the .co.uk and most likely set to point to the same site. Now anyone
can register the .uk and could point it wherever but why bother? People
are so used to .co.uk that shown a .uk they think it must be a mistake
and 'correct' it to .co.uk.

I think it's called bottom-up regulation.

I might affect Nominet policy. But having identified a typo, my question
was about: www.grid-watch.uk
