Simply fill in the required details in our order form and your new .UK domain name can be online in less than 30 minutes.

What makes .UK so special?
.UK domains, same as .CO.UK, .ME.UK and .ORG.UK require you to have a physical presence in the UK - you need to have an address or a company, registered in the UK to be able to register one. This makes them a bit more difficult to get but also makes them more unique - if you own a UK domain, your website will be instantly trusted more by locals. This is a great way to boost your online presence and search engine rankings in the United Kingdom.
