Probably a silly question but the .uk domain is really cheap. If I'm not in the UK can I still use that domain for my server without issue?

Its like 50 bucks for a ten year lease

Just make sure there's no wacky rules to follow on .uk Last I bought a domain, .us was the cheapest, but it had no WHOIS privacy and you were required to prove you were a US Citizen or company to buy it????? I noped right out

Yeah. I just needed to provide a US-based mailing address.
