Questions about .ink domains
Is .ink only for printing companies?
No. It can suit writers, illustrators and other projects with a connection to ink or creative work. The strongest choice is a full name that makes sense for your particular audience.
Which .ink registration periods can I choose?
Standard .ink registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .ink domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
