.uk domain registration
The short British address — €6.97 per year, renewal at the same price. No UK presence required.
The price shown is for the first year of registration. Renewal is €6.97/year.
The .uk domain — the short form of the British address
Registering a .uk costs €6.97 per year and the same on renewal. The price matches the familiar .co.uk, but the address is three characters shorter.
The Nominet registry opened direct second-level registrations in 2014, so .uk is younger and noticeably more free names remain. British audiences read both forms as local, and the short one is handier in ads and spoken speech.
Do you need a presence in the UK
A registrant from any country can hold a .uk — a British company is not required. However, for names directly at the second level (.uk without .co), Nominet requires overseas owners to provide a UK address for service — a PO box qualifies; the address goes into the domain contacts. If you already own a .co.uk name, it makes sense to claim the short form before someone else does. All country zones with prices are in the country domains section.

Frequently asked questions about .uk
Only in length and perception: .uk is shorter and more modern, .co.uk is more familiar to the British audience. Technically the zones are equivalent.
A company or residency — no. But an overseas owner of a direct .uk needs a UK address for service; under Nominet rules a PO box qualifies.
Registration costs €6.97 per year and renewal costs the same — the price does not rise from the second year. Transferring in from another registrar costs €6.53. Prices are per year in euro; the final amount is confirmed in the cart before payment.
Yes, if the brand matters: both forms cost the same — €6.97 per year — and one can redirect to the other. That way a look-alike address does not end up with another company.
Yes, the term is chosen in the cart before payment. The longer the term, the fewer reasons to think about the domain — and the more stable the price.
Yes, transfers are supported. Contact us — we will explain where to get the authorisation code and complete the transfer with the paid term preserved.
Noticeably more than in .co.uk: direct second-level registrations only opened in 2014, so short and meaningful combinations can still be found.
By changing the IPS tag to our registrar. The procedure differs from the classic EPP-code transfer, so it is best to contact support — we will walk you through the steps.
