Special Requirements for .CO.UK Domain Names

Who can register .CO.UK domains?

Anyone can register co.uk domains! Nominet, the registry which manages the official top-level domain (TLD) of the United Kingdom, does not restrict registration to UK persons or entities only. Nominet asks for the following information:

• Company or Person the domain is registered for, also known as a “registrant” (required whether the same or different from the Registrant Contact name)
• Legal Type of Registrant Contact (e.g. UK Individuals, Non-UK Individuals, UK Public Limited Companies)
• Company Identification Number (for Legal Types related to companies)

FREE WHOIS Privacy for individuals!

At DreamHost, we care about your privacy, and we’re happy that Nominet does too! Nominet hides all personal information by default for individuals, for free! Please note that Nominet does not extend this policy to non-individual domains such as companies or partnerships.
