Own an existing .co.uk domain?
\nClaim your reserved .uk domain now to avoid missing out!<\/h3>\n

On 10 June 2014, shorter, sharper \u2018example.uk\u2019 domain names became available for the first time alongside \u2018example.co.uk\u2019, \u2018example.org.uk\u2019 and so on. This represents the biggest modification of the UK namespace since it began.<\/p>\n

Any unique \u2018example.uk\u2019 domain name (e.g. one that does not have an equivalent name already registered as a .co.uk or a .org.uk) is available to register in the normal way<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, over 10 million existing UK Domain Family customers are being offered the shorter equivalent of their current address, with five years to decide whether they want to use it in addition to, or instead of the domain they already have. In the small proportion of instances where there could be competition \u2013 e.g. where one person holds example.co.uk and another holds example.org.uk \u2013 the new .uk domain will be offered to the .co.uk registrant.<\/p>\n

If you registered a .co.uk domain, before 28th October 2013, then you can claim your reserved .uk domain name simply by visiting the link below.<\/p>\n

For more detail on the new .uk domain and release process, please see the .UK information dedicated hub here at dotuklaunch.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
