Domain Names

Hello,

I'm just looking for some quick (and not too technical) advice on domain names.

Why is it a 'problem' to use a .uk.com domain name for a UK based company, rather than .co.uk or .com.

I know that .com is a gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain), and .co.uk is a Country Code Top-Level Domain...
I also know that .com is a first-level domain, .uk is the second-level domain.
However, I don't know why it's not good to combine .uk & .com in the same domain - does it cause some kind of issues or something??

Thanks in advance,

AF
