About .uk

.uk is the country code top-level domain for the United Kingdom. It is managed by Nominet UK, a nonprofit organization based in Oxford. The domain is open to anyone, with no specific eligibility restrictions for registrants. Nominet operates the registry and oversees second-level domains like .co.uk, .org.uk, and .me.uk, though the .uk namespace itself is also available for direct registration. The TLD was one of the first to be delegated, with its registration date going back to July 1985. Over the years, it has become one of the most widely used country code domains globally, supporting millions of websites. Nominet also runs the WHOIS and RDAP services for .uk, ensuring transparency in domain ownership.
