Can somebody tell me why uk sites have the .co before them? Something I've been wondering about.

.co = country

It stands for company, not country. Lots of countries follow the standard .co.[country initials].

That's why you get amazon.co.uk, amazon.co.jp, etc.

There is also .org.uk for organisations, .ac.uk for academic institutions, .gov.uk for government sites, etc.
