The Extension
Why .co.uk?
.co.uk is the UK's default commercial extension: four decades of British business online have made it the address customers type on instinct and trust on sight. For a company selling to the UK, it also carries a search benefit — country-code extensions signal geographic relevance to Google for UK queries.
Registration through Nominet's registry is instant, and our anycast DNS answers from the first minute. The natural pairing is our London hosting: a UK visitor reaching a UK site on UK infrastructure keeps the whole journey inside 15 milliseconds, which no extension alone can buy. Nominet's public WHOIS also withholds non-trading individuals' home addresses.
Good Fit
.co.uk works best for
- UK businesses of every size
- Companies selling primarily to British customers

Common Questions
Questions about .co.uk
Can I register a .co.uk without being in the UK?
Yes — registration is open worldwide, though Nominet requires a UK service address for the registrant record, which we handle as part of registration. The extension's UK signal comes from convention and geotargeting rather than a strict residency rule.
Should I register .co.uk or .uk?
Both, ideally — they are separate registrations of the same name. .co.uk carries four decades of recognition; .uk is shorter and more modern. Registering the pair and redirecting one costs little and prevents a confusingly similar address from ending up elsewhere.
Does a .co.uk help me rank in UK searches?
It is one genuine signal: Google geotargets country-code extensions to their country, which helps for UK queries. The larger levers remain content and speed — which is why we pair UK domains with London hosting, where the round trip is measured in single digits.
