Internet users could register before 2014, June 10 uk-domains only at the third level. Example: com-domains.org.uk. Nominet has introduced uk-doomains in the meantime: Example: business.uk. The slogan of NOMINET: "The shorter, the sharper".
Nominet believes that a new second level domains policy is necessary to keep the .Uk namespace competitive alongside the introduction of over 1,000 new domain extension since 2014.
Nominet says:"Combining a shorter suffix with the trust of the ‘.uk’ brand would offer a wider choice for existing .uk registrants and the millions of consumers and businesses who do not yet have their own online space."
The second level domain at .uk will be shorter -and therefore more memorable. This is a great advantage for marketing of the .uk website and the content at this uk-domain.
Almost ten million existing co.uk-customers can register with priority at .uk the shorter equivalent of their current address. A owner of other uk-domains, like org.uk, me.uk, is only permitted to register with priority the shorter equivalent its domain, if the co.uk-domain is not registered. If a current owner of a co.uk-domain does not use the chance to register the "sister domain" at .uk, everybody can register this uk-domain after 2019. Our recommendation for companies is to get control of all domains - at .co.uk, org.uk and .uk. A nasty situation could arise, if a competitor is marketing its services and products with your name at another uk-domain.
Secura GmbH does'nt want you to miss out your chance, so for a limited time, we are giving you your matching .uk domain(s) free for two years.
The .uk domain is the shorter UK focussed domain for businesses and individuals and delivers the same trust, reliability and credibility as .co.uk.
If you already own a domain ending in .UK (e.g. .co.uk) then for a limited period, you may have the rights to your equivalent shorter .uk.
Even better news, if you have a .uk reserved for you, then between 1 July and the end of September you can register it free for two years, if you send us the e-mail address, which was originally used to register your co.uk-Domain.
Legal framework: You have the rights of registration to your .uk equivalent domain until 10 June 2019, after which your .uk equivalent domain will be released and anyone can register it. Between 1 July and end of September Secura GmbH is offering .uk domains free of charge for two years to eligible registrants. Secura GmbH will charge the new Uk-Domains after the two years for a new period.
