Everything happens behind the scenes. Since the .uk registry is not
realtime (i.e. .uk is synchronous as opposed to the async-dot-com
registry), we have to send a query to the NIC registry and wait (typically
5 minutes) for a response. The customer should get an order number right
away, and you will be able to track the status of the registration from
your end :)
