.uk Domain Summary:
Registry: Nominet UK

We think: ".co.uk Domains represent the best choice for UK Businesses of any size."
PurplePaw are full members of Nominet UK, allowing us to register, administer, and renew .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk, .me.uk, .plc.uk, .net.uk and .sch.uk domains on behalf of our clients.
In addition to the more common .uk domain extensions above, we also work with ja.net / UKERNA who handle .ac.uk (Education) and .gov.uk (Government) domains.
.uk Pricing
PurplePaw are currently giving away a FREE .co.uk domain name when you sign up and pay for an Annual Hosting Account!
We charge £10 to register or renew .co.uk, .org.uk, and .me.uk domain names, and £20 to register or renew .ltd.uk and .plc.uk domain names which require manual validation and have special requirements. All .uk domains are registered and renewed in 2 year intervals. Unlike many registrars we don't charge to release a domain to another Nominet IPSTAG.
For more details see our main Domain Prices page.
Is a Domain Available?
To check whether your desired domain name is available for registration, you can use our Free Domain Search tool in the top right hand corner of this page. All it takes is 3 simple steps:
- Replace "yourcompany" with the main part of your domain name, without any dots or extensions
- Select an extension such as ".co.uk"
- Press Go!
You'll get a quick and clear result telling you if your domain is available, and if it is you can register it right away. If not, click back and try again. A domain name is important to get right, so try as many times as you like until you're completely happy with the result!
Recommendation: Whenever possible, we recommend you also purchase the equivalent .com domain name which can be configured to point to your main .uk domain name.
