The Extension
Why .co.uk?
.co.uk is where UK commerce lives online. Administered by Nominet since the internet's early days, it's the extension British customers type by habit and trust by default — for a business serving the UK, it does quiet credibility work on every business card and search result.
There's no residency requirement — anyone worldwide can register one — and Nominet keeps individual registrants' personal details out of the public WHOIS by default. We show the renewal price beside the register price, so the yearly cost is never a surprise.
Good Fit
.co.uk works best for
- UK businesses of every size
- Tradespeople and local services
- International brands serving British customers
- Pairing with a .uk to protect the name in both forms
What You Get
Included with every domain
The UK default
British customers guess .co.uk the way the world guesses .com — met expectations convert better.
Local search signal
The extension tells search engines your site is UK-relevant — a genuine, if modest, aid for local queries.
Privacy by policy
Nominet withholds individuals' personal details from public WHOIS by default — protection built into the extension.
Common Questions
Questions about .co.uk
Do I need to be in the UK to register .co.uk?
No — .co.uk has no residency requirement and is open to registrants worldwide. It makes most sense, though, for sites genuinely serving UK customers, since that's the signal the extension sends to both people and search engines.
What's the relationship between .co.uk and .uk?
They're separate registrations under the same Nominet umbrella: .co.uk is the traditional business form, .uk the shorter modern one introduced in 2014. They can be owned by different parties, so established brands commonly register both and redirect one.
Is .co.uk or .com better for a UK business?
Serving mainly UK customers, .co.uk — it matches local habit and signals local relevance. Selling internationally, .com travels better. Many UK businesses hold both, using one as primary and redirecting the other; if forced to choose, choose where your customers are.
