R [ahr] -noun: the eighteenth letter of the English alphabet. A consonant.
The letter R is a more exceptional character than it first appears. It’s not a P with a tail or a B with a broken bowl. When drawn correctly, the capital R is rich with subtle details and delicate proportions.

Q: How much should I offer to pay for a domain?
A: That's really up to you, but there are a few things you ought to consider before making an offer such as the cost of registering the domains and renewal charges (we've had some of these domains for a while now) then there are the costs charged by the domain naming authorities for changing ownership and of course the domain name itself. If it is a desirable, prestigious domain name, or a self-describing domain name (great for SEO) then it is worth more than some of the quirky or less obviously personal domains that we own. Don't forget that this is a one-off charge, once you own it, renewal costs will only be a few pounds every year or so!
Q: What can I do if I don't see the domain I am looking for at BuyDomain.co.uk?
A: If this is the case, then we would recommend you visit the Sedo auctions and see if your desired name is among those you can bid for. You can reach Sedo from their advert above.

There is an Egyptian hieroglyphic on the Rosetta Stone that represents the consonant sound of R. The symbol is called “ro” and was drawn in the shape of a mouth. In hieratic writing, the symbol was elongated into more of a capsule shape.
The Phoenician sign for the ‘r’ sound was called “resh,” their word for head. Resh bore no resemblance to the Egyptian ro; it was depicted in the Phoenician alphabet by what we assume to be a simple rendering of a left-facing human profile.
By 900 B.C. the Greeks had adapted the Phoenician letter and called it “rho.” The Greeks reversed the orientation of the head’s left-facing profile, which you might consider a step in the right direction toward creating the R. But they also converted the curve of the face into an angular form. The curve was eventually restored, and the letter ended up looking much like our P.
The Romans borrowed the alphabet from the Greeks via the Etruscans, adding a short, obliqued appendage under the bowl. Seeing the advantage in having a differentiation between the R and P, the Romans further lengthened the stunted stroke into a graceful and delicately curved tail, which remains the trademark feature of our modern R.
