Domain orders

Can a new domain registration be refunded?

A successful domain registration is normally submitted to the registry immediately and cannot simply be returned or undone. Check the spelling, extension, holder details and total carefully before payment.

Why refunds differ

A domain is a registry transaction, not a stock item

Once registered, the registry has created the right to use that exact name for the ordered period and UKC cannot normally cancel it to recover the wholesale fee.

Before ordering

Check spelling, extension, period and registrant details

Look for missing letters and unintended hyphens, and confirm whether you selected .uk, .co.uk or another extension. The confirmation page is the final opportunity to correct the order.

If something failed

Contact UKC when the registry order was not completed correctly

A genuine failed registration, duplicate charge or processing error should be investigated. This is different from changing your mind after the requested name was successfully registered. Current terms and statutory rights still apply.
