If you own a .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .net.uk, .plc.uk, or ltd.uk domain, the matching .uk domain may have been reserved for you until 25 June 2019.
This could mean if you own yourwebsite.co.uk, your equivalent .uk domain, so yourwebsite.uk, may have been reserved. After 1 July 2019 any reserved .uk domains that have not been registered will be released into the public domain. This means they can be registered by anyone.
You will need to register the .uk domain name yourself before 6am BST (UTC+1) on the 25th of June 2019. We suggest you contact our support team who will be able to help you with this.
There is no difference in price to a standard domain registration. The current prices for both registration and renewal are £5.99+VAT per annum.
When your rights elapse on 25th June, the ‘reserved’ domain will be available for registration by someone else.
Your existing domain is unaffected and will continue as usual. Remember to continue to renew your registration each year.
