Our registration fees cover a period of two years, after which a renewal fee is payable (at the same rate) for each subsequent two year period.
Registering direct with Nominet
We charge £80 plus VAT per direct domain name registration, which must be paid in full in advance.
Registering via a Nominet member
We offer its members a discount on registration fees. Registrars, including Nominet members, usually combine the domain name registration fee with charges for other services that they provide to end users. Prices therefore vary widely in the commercial marketplace and you should shop around in order to find a deal that suits your needs.
The members' fee is given in return for members undertaking some of the administration associated with bulk registrations, including end user billing, which would otherwise be carried out by Nominet.
VAT
Value added Tax (VAT) at the current rate is added to all our invoices for domain name registration and membership. This applies to both EU countries and non-EU countries.
This is a ruling by HM Customs and Excise because the service is supplied in the UK and not the country of the registration agent or registrant.
You may be able to reclaim VAT in your own country. Please see http://www.hmce.gov.uk/forms/notices/723conts.htm for details.
