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

Some ccTLDs have strict requirements (looking at you .de), but most are fairly standard TLDs. The last time I checked, .tv (for Tuvalu) was responsible for something like 40% of the country’s GDP, so it’s not surprising that most ccTLDs are welcoming to outsiders.
Edit: I was curious so I double checked, and apparently as of 2019 .tv was closer to 9% of Tuvalu’s Government spending according to Wikipedia. In my defense, the last time I researched the matter was several years prior to 2019, and additionally I have no doubt that I’m misremembering and/or unintentionally exaggerating that figure.
Regarding .de domains, I’ve seen multiple examples of a registered domain being completely deleted with absolutely no refund or recourse because the Registrant/Admin contact(s) didn’t respond to a physical letter sent by DENIC via post in Germany.
What’s up with de domains?

Ridiculous.
They don’t mess around with their requirements either and strictly enforce them. If you don’t follow their rules and your domain is deleted, there is no refund or recourse.
