Why register a .uk domain name?

  • It's the new standard for UK websites

    With over 10 million registrations, .UK is one of the world's most popular top-level domain extensions. If you're an e-commerce website, you definitely need a .UK domain. Over two-thirds of people polled in the UK prefer to buy from a website that ends in .UK.

  • It puts your brand name first

    Until 2014, if you wanted a UK-centric domain name, the primary option was the longer second-level address .co.uk,. Now that shorter .UK domains are available to the public, this memorable extension is the perfect way to keep the focus where it should be: on your brand name.

  • It's perfect for…

    .UK is the obvious choice for any site that's based in the United Kingdom or caters to a UK audience. Don't be left out. Reserve your .UK domain before someone else does.
