We strongly advise you to register a .uk domain name through a registrar especially if you want the domain name to be registered immediately. A registrar will be able to provide you with any hosting, email, and web site services and may be able to offer you a much lower registration cost. Please see the list of Nominet members to find an appropriate registrar.

Some technically competent users may wish to register domain names directly with us. To register direct you must have access to two name servers that are permanently connected to the Internet. Please note that we do not offer any hosting, email or web site services and the cost to register direct is £94.00 including VAT

Please note that your application to register a .uk domain name directly with us will not be fully processed and the domain name registered until we:

• Receive payment for the registration. We will only accept credit/debit card payments for this service.
• Determine that the registration is not in breach of the rules of registration.
  

If you wish to register a domain name directly with us at a cost of £94.00 including VAT please complete the direct registration form.
