.uk Domains
.uk domain registration, renewal shown up front
The British address with three characters shaved off — modern, clean, and best owned alongside its .co.uk twin rather than instead of it. Register from $10.99/yr — the renewal figure is printed right beside it.

The Extension
Why .uk?
.uk is the direct, shorter form of the British address, opened by Nominet in 2014. It carries the same at-a-glance Britishness as .co.uk in a tighter package — easier on a business card, cleaner in an advert, quicker to say aloud.
The important thing to understand is the relationship: yourname.uk and yourname.co.uk are separate registrations that can end up in different hands. The prudent move for a British brand is to hold both and point one at the other — and both sit on our shelf with registration and renewal prices on the same tag.
Good Fit
.uk works best for
- British brands that want the shortest national address
- Modern companies without .co.uk-era habits to honour
- Owners of a .co.uk closing the gap on the shorter form
- Adverts, packaging and radio, where every character counts

Common Questions
Questions about .uk
If I own the .co.uk, do I automatically own the .uk?
No — the period when .co.uk holders had reserved rights to the matching .uk has ended, and the names are now registered independently. If your .uk is still free, the safe move is registering it now.
Should I use .uk or .co.uk as my main address?
Either works; the deciding factor is usually habit. Established businesses tend to lead with the .co.uk their customers already type, newer ones with the shorter .uk — and with both registered, the choice is reversible.
Can someone outside the UK register a .uk domain?
Nominet accepts registrants from anywhere, though its terms require proper contact details on the register. If you trade into Britain, the extension is available to you.
