Buy a domain name — .co.uk, .com and more
Search, register, and manage domain names. Simple pricing, no surprises.
A domain is your website’s address. The price is for the name. Hosting for a website and email is separate — you can add it at checkout.
Transparent pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. Registration and renewal are the same — no first-year tricks.
Registry privacy
.uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .eu keep an individual's personal details out of the public WHOIS record automatically, at no charge — the registries do it by default. On .com, .net, .org, .shop and .pw it's an optional add-on at £5 a year.
Easy DNS management
Full DNS control from your account. Point your domain anywhere, manage records, or just set our nameservers and go.
Transfer lock
Domains are locked by default to prevent unauthorised transfers. Unlock anytime you need.
Domain pricing, all of it
Four things can ever be charged on a domain. Here are all four, for every extension we sell. Our prices stay the same year after year — we don't advertise a cheap first year and quietly put it up at renewal.
| Extension | Register | Transfer to us | Renew | Redemption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .co.uk | £10/yr | Free* | £10/yr | No fee |
| .org.uk | £10/yr | Free* | £10/yr | No fee |
| .uk | £10/yr | Free* | £10/yr | No fee |
| .com | £15/yr | £15+1 yr | £15/yr | £243+ renewal |
| .net | £18/yr | £18+1 yr | £18/yr | £243+ renewal |
| .org | £18/yr | £18+1 yr | £18/yr | £243+ renewal |
| .eu | £13/yr | £13+1 yr | £13/yr | £243+ renewal |
| .de | £13/yr | £13no yr added | £13/yr | £243+ renewal |

| .shop | £38/yr | £38+1 yr | £38/yr | £118+ renewal |
| .pw | £43/yr | £43+1 yr | £43/yr | At cost |
Register and renew are the same price, and stay the same price. Other hosts lean on a cheap first year and put the renewal up every year after, the way broadband and mobile contracts do. We don't. The only thing that moves our prices is the registry moving theirs, which moves them for everybody.
* Moving a .uk to us is free and your renewal date doesn't change — Nominet charge nothing for it, so neither do we. You pay the normal renewal when it falls due. The one exception is the last 90 days before it expires, when it's renewed as part of the move.
A transfer on other extensions isn't really a fee. On .com, .net, .org and most others, a year is added to your current expiry date when the move completes, so the price is a renewal you're paying early — you don't lose the time you'd already bought.
Redemption is the registrar's and registry's charge, not ours. If a domain lapses past its grace period, restoring it costs the fee above plus a year's renewal — it is a manual recovery, not a late payment. We price it as close to what it costs us as card fees allow. It is a brutal amount of money and we're sorry it's as steep as it is; it isn't a number we chose or one we benefit from. Renewing on time avoids every penny of it, and we'll email you well before then — more than once.
When does redemption start?
Not always straight away, and not always after 30 days — every registry does it differently. Here is exactly how long you would have on each extension, and at what point the expensive part begins. .eu, .de and .pl are the ones to watch: they have no grace period at all.
These are the registries' own windows and they can move them. We email you before the date and again as it gets close, so it should never come to any of this.
Does the price go up when I renew?
No. A .co.uk is £10 for the first year and £10 a year to renew. A .com is £15 for the first year and £15 a year to renew. Every extension we sell costs the same to renew as to register, so there is no cheap first year that jumps later.
Can I transfer a domain I already own?
Yes. Moving a .co.uk to us is free and your expiry date does not change — the registry charges nothing for it, so neither do we, and you pay the normal renewal when it falls due. The one exception: if it expires within 90 days (or already has), it is renewed as part of the move (£10 a year). Moving a .com to us costs £15, and that is a renewal rather than a fee: a year is added to your current expiry date when the transfer completes, so you keep the time you have already paid for. Start a transfer, or keep it where it is and point its nameservers at us.
Is WHOIS privacy included?
It depends on the extension. On .eu, .co.uk, .org.uk and .uk, it is free: the registry hides a private individual’s name and contact details from the public WHOIS record by default. On .com, .net, .org, .shop and .pw, privacy protection is an optional add-on at £5 a year per domain. Tick it when you order, or add it later from the domain’s page.
Already own a domain?
No need to transfer. Just point your nameservers to us:
