NEED A .CO.UK or .UK DOMAIN NAME?

Google gives priority to .uk and .co.uk domain names if the search being performed is either from the UK or if the search query is about the UK. .uk and .co.uk domain names would perform better for example in the Google.co.uk searches.

If you have any questions about domain name registrations, transfers or charges please contact us.

.uk domain names are the new shorter domain name for the United Kingdom. If you are planning on doing business in the UK then this domain could be for you. There only restrictions for registering a .uk domain are that you are a UK citizen or can prove you do business in the UK. However, if you already own a .co.uk domain you qualify for a .uk domain immediately.
