Domain Name Registration .Com will fully register your .UK domain name in one quick process, without any ongoing comittments or fees. Registering now allows you to own your domain name: you can either use it immediately, or wait to complete your web-site plans without the risk of someone else taking your name.

To Register your Internet Domain Name, simply
Check Name Availability and fill out our easy Signup Sheet

What we will do:

  • Domain Name Registration .Com programs for you the two (or more) Domain Name Servers required by Nominet UK for a successful registration. Your Domain Name Service is maintained for two years and can be extended at your option. (see information NOTE below)

  • We forward your application electronically to Nominet UK in the exact format they require, and monitor its progress as it is received and awaits processing.

  • Finally, we notify you when the domain name is approved and registered, including a copy of the confirmation received from Nominet UK and other essential information for your records.

  • Once registered, your new domain name will be set up to access a Temporary Page on the Web like this.

  • The entire process usually takes from a few days to a week to complete (most are now being completed in 24 hours). At the end of this time you will have your domain name(s) officially registered and
    in your control.



UK Domain Rules

.UK domain names have three parts - (1) a name   (2) a type tag - such as .co, .org, .net, .ltd, .lpc and (3) the top level .uk - as in the following example:
yourname.co.uk.


Once you know the name, select the type tag from following list:
  • CO is for commercial, for-profit organizations. There is no limit on the number of names that may be applied for
  • ORG is for miscellaneous, usually, non-profit organizations
  • NET is for network infrastructure machines and organizations
  • AC is for degree granting institutions and research organizations
  • SCH is for schools
  • LTD may be used by United Kingdom private limited companies
  • PLC may be used by United Kingdom public limited companies

    SYNTAX RULES:
  • The total length of the three-part name may be up to 63 characters (including the "dots").
  • The only characters allowed in a domain name are alphabets, digits and the hyphen "-". A domain name can not begin or end with a hyphen.

    These rules should suffice for most applications, however, for more information on the .ltd and .plc categories, go here .


    Full UK Domain Rules can be found here at the Nominet UK web site.

RULES AND AGREEMENTS

Registration of UK domains requires your agreement to all Nominet UK rules and policies, including their Dispute Resolution Policy

 


Our Fee = £70
(Includes VAT + Nominet UK Domain Name Fee)

Domain Name Registration .Com fee covers service through the completed registration and guarantees one successful domain name registration including the required name service. We charge a one-time fee, with NO monthly charges.



Is there an extra Nominet UK Fee? (NO)

The UK domain registration authority, Nominet, normally charges £ 80 + VAT = £ 94  to cover the first two years of registration. This is the amount that you would normally pay if you register directly through Nominet UK. However, as member of the Nominet UK Steering Committee with a high volume of registrations, our company enjoys a discount on this fee - which we are able to pass along to you. Therefore, our charge of £70 already includes the entire Nominet UK fee for the first two years (It really is less expensive to use our service than to apply yourself - even when you supply the name servers).

After two years, Nominet UK will charge you  £ 40+VAT per year to maintain your domain name registration.

Please Remember: Domain Name Registration .com acts as a service agent only. Once registered, THE APPLICANT OWNS THE DOMAIN NAME and assumes responsibility for any future obligations, renewal fees, etc., needed to maintain or modify domain name.

 


PAYMENT OPTIONS:

PAY ONLINE WITH SSL SECURE TRANSACTION:


VISA / MASTERCARD / AMERICAN EXPRESS / DISCOVER / JCB
* Charges are posted in US$ at the official daily exchange rate

Our SSL Secure Transaction Server provides complete end-to-end encryption of your sensitive data so it's safe to enter your credit card number on line.

If your browser does not support SSL, we also provide an option to pay through an unsecure server - Here the 2-step submission process also guards your credit card information. If you prefer, you can also fax the credit card information. For fax number or, if you wish to pay by check, please see details on the Signup form.

 

                                    Refund Policy:

Because we spend considerable time and effort in arranging a registration - expenditures that can not be recovered - we are not able to offer refunds on our fee. However, as noted above, we do guarantee one completed registration. Please choose your name(s) carefully.

 

Web Hosting Services:

Domain Name Registration .com is an independent service that allows you to simply register your domain name. However, if either now or in the future you are shopping for a web hosting service to store and broadcast your company or personal web pages, please consider our full-featured Web Site Hosting Service AMERICAN TOPDOMAIN, which offers advanced hosting service at a very affordable price. Our service emphasizes site security, fast and reliable connections, and a full array of programming features such as order forms, email forwarding, POP email accounts, image maps, counters, multimedia, etc. - all in one low-cost package and ready to implement by non-technical users. Please visit our web hosting site at:

*NOTE ON DOMAIN NAME SERVERS: Once an application is received by Nominet UK, a response check is made before the name is officially released onto the Internet. Nominet UK queries the two (or more) computers that run the name serving software (together they are called name servers) to see whether the name servers are responding to the domain name, and whether the appropriate domain records have been installed on them. Only after passing this test is the domain name formally registered and released. Failing this, Nominet UK will not register the name.

Our company arranges to lend you an IP (Internet Protocol) address for the name servers (does not include active site hosting). Naturally, you can transfer your domain name without charge at any time to any Internet service provider for use.
