What is a .uk domain?
The .uk domain is the country code extension of the United Kingdom, run by Nominet, the organisation that has managed the UK registry since 1996. For many years registrations were only possible under second level zones such as .co.uk or .org.uk. Since 2014 Nominet has allowed registrations directly at the second level, giving shorter name.uk addresses.
A .uk address is instantly associated with the British market and earns trust from buyers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is a strong choice for European companies selling into Britain, for diaspora communities living there, and for brands that want to look local in this market. The classic .co.uk remains very popular and is registered separately.
.uk is the country code extension of United Kingdom.

Registration rules for .uk
- The registry is Nominet; no UK address or company is required to register
- Registrant data must be accurate, and Nominet may verify identity and address and suspend domains with incomplete data
- .uk and .co.uk are independent: if you want both, each must be registered separately
- Transfers between providers use a change of registrar tag (IPS tag) in the Nominet system rather than a classic authorisation code
Tips for choosing a .uk name
- Check the .co.uk version of your name too, many Britons type it out of habit
- For an English site aimed at the UK, use British spelling and show prices in pounds
- Enter complete and accurate contact details from the start to avoid data validation suspensions
- If you already run a site on another domain, use .uk for a local version and point both at the same server

Questions about .uk domains
Can I register a .uk domain if I live outside the UK?
Yes. Nominet does not require the registrant to live in or have a company in the United Kingdom. Individuals and businesses anywhere can register a .uk. You only need to provide real, verifiable contact details, because the registry runs data quality checks.
What is the difference between .uk and .co.uk?
Both are run by Nominet. .co.uk dates back to the 1980s and is the traditional choice for businesses, very familiar to British users. .uk is shorter and became available in 2014. They are separate domains, so owning one does not automatically give you the other.
Does .uk help with rankings in Google UK?
A ccTLD such as .uk tells search engines that the site targets the United Kingdom, which can help for searches made there. Relevant content, links from British sites and speed matter just as much. For audiences in other countries, their own national extension is usually the better choice.
How does a .uk transfer work?
In the Nominet system, moving between providers is done by changing the registrar tag (IPS tag), which you set at your current provider. The page shows whether transfer to us is available. Once moved, DNS is managed for free from the same account.
How much does a .uk domain cost?
Registering a .uk domain costs €9.19 for the first year and €21.57 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.
For how long can I register a .uk domain?
You can register a .uk domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.
Can I transfer my .uk domain to cloudlinux.ro?
Yes. Transferring a .uk domain costs €3.00 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.
Can I host a website on my .uk domain with you?
Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .uk domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
