How Our £1 Domain Registration Discount Works

When it comes to registering your domain name, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden catches. If you’ve seen our special offer – domain names from just £1 for the first year – you might be wondering how it works. Here’s everything you need to know.

First-Year Discounts with 2-Year Terms

To unlock our ultra-low first-year pricing (like £1 for .UK or £7.95 for .COM), your domain must be registered for two years. This allows us to offer you a significant discount on your first year while maintaining a competitive rate overall.

For example:

  • .co.uk or .uk: £1 for year 1 + £9.95 for year 2
  • .com: £7.95 for year 1 + £14.95 for year 2

That’s a total of just £10.95 for 2 years on a UK domain – unbeatable value.

Free Domain with Hosting or Website Builder

If you’re purchasing at least one year of web hosting or a website builder plan, your .co.uk or .uk domain is completely free for the first year. There’s no need to register the domain for two years – you’ll still get it free as part of your hosting package.

This is perfect for new businesses or anyone starting a website who wants everything in one simple bundle.

Annual Renewals Stay the Same

After the initial 2-year period, you’re welcome to renew your domain annually at our standard pricing. You’ll never be locked into long-term commitments, and you’ll always have full control via your account dashboard.

Why We Do It This Way

This approach helps protect your brand longer-term while still giving you an entry-level price to get started. It also deters speculative one-year registrations ensuring our genuine customers get the best deal.

No Hidden Fees, Ever

Unlike some providers, we don’t hike renewal prices unexpectedly. What you see is what you get:

  • No hidden charges
  • Free DNS and email forwarding
  • Free privacy protection (where available)

Web Forwarding: Instantly Point Your Domain Anywhere


What is Web Forwarding?

Web Forwarding allows you to redirect your domain name to any URL of your choice – perfect if you want your visitors to land on a different website, online shop, blog, or social profile. This powerful feature is included free with every UK Cheapest domain.

Whether you’re rebranding, consolidating websites, promoting a special page, or simply want your visitors to see a different site, web forwarding is the easiest way to keep control of your domain traffic.

Types of Web Forwarding (Redirects)

You can choose between three forwarding types, depending on your needs:

  1. 301 Permanent RedirectThe best option for long-term moves. Tells search engines and visitors that your domain has moved permanently. Keeps your search rankings and ensures visitors always end up at the new location.
  2. 302 Temporary RedirectUse this when you only want to forward visitors for a short period. Signals that the move isn’t permanent. Good for maintenance, events, or short-term promotions.
  3. Masked (Framed) ForwardingShows the destination site inside a frame, so your domain stays in the address bar. Great for keeping your brand visible, but may affect SEO and user experience. Use for special situations where you don’t want the destination URL to appear.

  1. Log in to your UK Cheapest account and select your domain.
  2. Open Web Forwarding from your domain control panel.
