Domains · .uk
Register a .uk domain
Shorter, newer, and usually free beside the .co.uk.
To register
£9.99
first year
To renew
£9.99
every year after
No introductory rate, so the renewal is not a surprise. Priced live, and inclusive.
Who a .uk suits
UK businesses who want the shortest possible British address.
- Two characters shorter than .co.uk, which matters on a van, a card or a sign.
- Often available where the .co.uk has gone.
- Reads as modern without abandoning the British signal.
The honest drawback
Recognition still lags .co.uk. Plenty of people will type .co.uk out of habit, so if you can, hold both and redirect one.
Who can register one
Open to anyone. Registrants must provide accurate contact details. The registry behind .uk is Nominet.

Consider instead
.co.uk
The British default, and still the one UK customers trust.
