About the Domain

I bought the domain name sekai.co.uk from LCN on April 24, 2003. It redirected people to my blog for one year, but I’ve always wanted my own webspace. So in April 2004 I bought hosting for it.

Although my domain itself doesn’t get many hits per day, the other sites that are hosted here get quite a lot. I think it’s funny how no one visits my domain, but the other sites I host get loads of visitors. ^^; I don’t offer hosting on a regular basis, but I might in the future. If you’re looking for a host for a personal site, blog or small fansite, feel free to ask me anyway.

My current hosting is with a company called Web Hosting UK; they’re fast and reliable and their hosting accounts use cPanel, so they’re really easy to use. I think it’s worth linking to them since they’ve provided a good service so far!

Name

The word “sekai” is Japanese for “world”. Pretty random, I know. But I thought it sounded quite cool with the suffix .co.uk. And if you don’t know Japanese it sounds cool… but world.co.uk? Anyway, I like it. So, nyah. xD

When I was naming my domain, I was reading through different song lyrics. And when I think back to the reason I chose “sekai”, it may have been because of the last line of Gackt’s “memories”. Kono sekai ga kuchihatetemo (Even if the world falls to ruins). And then that makes me think it was You-kun’s fault because of a certain quote of his, to Gackt. <.< So… there is actually a meaning behind sekai.co.uk.

And finally, why .co.uk and not some spiffier suffix like .net or .org? Because .co.uk is the cheapest. xD And and also.. because I’m from the UK.
