What I find hard to believe and just realized was that this domain was registered on 10-Jun-2014. Edit: People were first able to register .uk domains last year, and if the .co.uk domain already exists then you must own it in order to register the .uk domain.
Direct registrations under .uk (and not just .co.uk, .org.uk etc) were only opened last year.
Interesting that they would allow such an odd domain to be registered in the first place. It seems like a big security hole.
You're missing something here. The UK is a country that allows second-level domains e.g., co.uk, gov.uk, org.uk as well as just domains ending in .uk. This organizations owns c.uk (so the who-is you should lookup is just c.uk. What I find hard to believe is that ti looks like it was registered on: 10-Jun-2014!?

That's the date when they started allowing registration for top level domains (before they just allowed second level).
I didn't know single letter domains were allowed? For example none of a.com, b.com, c.com etc. work - do other gTLD allow single letter domains then?
https://t.co/ is very well known. Probably the most used single-character domain in existence :) Unrelated, but I've never understood why t.co counts against your tweet length.. for example, if you tweeted "ebay.c.uk", it would count for length( http://t.co/xxxxxxxxxx ) characters (15 characters even though you only typed 9).

You need to own the .co.uk to get the .uk (at the minute), unless the .co.uk hasn't been registered.

Of those, x is currently timing out, q redirects to some kind of customer-only login wall, and z is the winner as the only normal public-facing website on a single-letter .com.
I wonder if eBay still owns x.com, having been Elon Musk's PayPal precursor. If so, it's a staggering oversight to leave the domain dormant.

No, he means what do you find unusual about it. It seems like an ordinary name to me. Is it that it seems too easy to typo?
