Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a .uk and a .co.uk domain?

Both .uk and .co.uk are official domain extensions for the United Kingdom.

The main difference is historical. The .co.uk domain has been around for longer and is traditionally associated with commercial entities. The .uk domain is a newer, shorter, and more concise option that was launched to expand the choices for businesses and individuals seeking a UK domain name. Both are excellent choices for a UK-focused website, and the decision often comes down to personal preference, brand identity, and availability.

Are there any restrictions on who can register a .uk domain?

What is WHOIS privacy protection, and is it available for .uk domains?

WHOIS privacy protection is a service that redacts your personal contact information from the public WHOIS database. This helps protect your details from spammers and potential threats.

With Cloudflare, every .uk domain registration comes with free WHOIS redaction, where permitted by the registry. For individuals, this helps keep your contact details private. For businesses, the organization's information is typically public.

How do I transfer my existing .uk domain to Cloudflare?

Transferring a .uk domain is a straightforward process. Unlike generic top-level domains (gTLDs), which use an authorization code, .uk domains use a system called an IPS tag. To transfer your domain to Cloudflare, you will need to contact your current registrar and request them to change the domain's IPS tag to CLOUDFLARE. Once this is done, the transfer is typically completed immediately.

How long can I register a .uk domain for?

What happens if I forget to renew my .uk domain?

Cloudflare has an auto-renewal feature that is enabled by default to help prevent accidental expiration.

However, if a domain does expire, there is a 40-day grace period during which you can still renew it. If the domain is not renewed within this time, it may enter a redemption period and eventually become available for public registration. This can lead to a loss of the domain, which is why we highly recommend keeping auto-renewals on.
