What Is a .UK Domain Name?
Registering a .UK is the shorter alternative to the co.uk domain name extension. Just like the .co.uk its ideal for businesses and sites located within the UK. Launched in June 2014, the .UK domain extension is now quickly becoming the popular alternative to the .co.uk
We have written a handy guide on what the difference is between a .UK & .Co.UK domain name for those that are looking for further details on the .UK domain name.
Are the registration rules different from a co.uk?
The .UK registration rules are largely the same as.co.uk and .org.uk domains, with two exceptions:
- Where the registrant is overseas an address for service in the UK is required.
- PO Boxes are unacceptable in the address.
Nominet (the UK domain name registry) created an informative website on for the launch of .UK domain extension. Further reading is available in The UK Domain.
