Why
Why choose a .uk domain
.uk is the compact, modern form of the British namespace: the same country trust and the same UK geo-targeting as .co.uk, in an address that fits better on a shopfront, a van, or a social bio.
Because it launched decades after .co.uk, availability is excellent — names long taken on .co.uk are often free on .uk. Established UK brands usually own both.
Benefits
What .uk gives you
Shortest UK signal
Full British trust in the fewest possible characters.
Better availability
A younger namespace than .co.uk — good names are still free.
Same low pricing
Priced like .co.uk, with renewal essentially matching registration.
Best For
.uk works best for
- Modern British brands wanting a short address
- UK startups and direct-to-consumer products
- Owners of the matching .co.uk (defensive registration)
- Signage, packaging and print where length matters

FAQ
.uk domain questions
How much does a .uk domain cost?
Registering a .uk domain costs $10.99 for the first year and renews at $11.99/yr — both figures are shown side by side before you pay, so there are no year-two surprises.
Is .uk different from .co.uk in Google's eyes?
