Use the domain search tool on this page. Enter the name you want and the checker will show whether it is available. If your first choice has already gone, try a shorter version, a clearer brand phrase, or a close variation.

To register a .co.uk domain:

1. Search for your preferred domain name.
2. Choose your registration period.
3. Enter your details and complete checkout securely.
4. Manage DNS, renewals, email forwarding, and hosting options from your account.

Once registered, the domain is yours for the selected period and can be renewed before expiry.

.co.uk domains are managed by Nominet, the UK domain registry. Nominet oversees registration rules, renewal processes, and dispute resolution for UK domain names.

Yes. You do not usually need to be based in the UK to register a .co.uk domain. If you are targeting UK customers, it can still be a useful way to show that your website is relevant to that market.

Pricing depends on the registration period and any options selected during checkout. Search for your domain and you will see the current price before you register, with no hidden fees added at the end.

If a .co.uk domain is not renewed, it enters an expiry process with a recovery window. Renewing promptly is the safest way to keep the domain active and avoid any risk of losing it.

If the domain is already registered, you can try a close alternative, contact the current owner, use a broker, or monitor the domain in case it becomes available in future. Premium names may cost more if the current owner is willing to sell.

For many UK-focused businesses, .co.uk is a stronger fit because it communicates local relevance and familiarity. A .com can still work well for international brands, so the best choice depends on your audience and growth plans.
