.uk
Country Code🇬🇧United Kingdom
The .uk TLD is the country code for the United Kingdom, home to some of the world's most established institutions, businesses, and cultural icons. It's the domain of record for British presence on the internet.
While .co.uk has historically been the more popular choice, .uk has gained significant traction since being opened to direct registration. It's shorter, cleaner, and carries the same British credibility.
From the BBC to British startups, .uk represents a trusted, mature internet presence. It's the domain equivalent of a British accent — it immediately commands respect.
