On 10 June 2014, shorter, sharper "example.uk" domain names became available for the first time alongside "example.co.uk", "example.org.uk" and so on. This represents the biggest modification of the UK namespace since it began.
Any unique "example.uk" 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.
However, over 10 million existing UK Domain Name Registrants are being offered the shorter equivalent of their current address, with until 2019 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 (e.g. where one person holds example.co.uk and another holds example.org.uk) the new .uk domain will be offered to the .co.uk registrant in most cases.
If you registered a .co.uk domain, before 28th October 2013, then you may have rights to a reserved .UK domain name which you can check using the button in the table above.
For more details on the new .uk domain and release processes, please see the dedicated .uk domain name website from Nominet at dotuklaunch.uk.
