The rights to claim reserved .uk domain names ends soon
You may be familiar with and already have domains ending in .UK, such as .co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk. These are run and managed by Nominet.
In 2014 Nominet launched the shorter .uk domain ending and reserved some of the matching .uk domain names for those who already had domains ending in .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .net.uk, .plc.uk, or .ltd.uk.
The reservation period ends on 25th June 2019 - what does this mean to you?
- If you own a current domain such as .co.uk then you may have the rights to the matching .uk. Don’t miss out and register it before the deadline.
- Until 14 June customers can register their reserved .uk name free for one year.
- To confirm your requirement please email service@plumcom.co.uk with the domain name you require and we will confirm if you have rights to the domain.
If you do not have a reserved .uk domain but there is one you would like, you can ask us to register the name when it is released providing it is not already registered and is available.
We cannot reserve domain names and all domains are registered on a best endeavours basis and in accordance with Nominet terms and conditions.

.uk domain type launched today
DOMAIN NAMES .UK
From 10 June 2014 a new domain name type is available to register in the uk. It ends in .uk but unlike other domains it is not preceded by .co or .org etc. If you have ever tired of giving your domain name in full or found the domain name is too long to fit on your business card now is the time to register the slightly shorter variant.
Launched today the .uk domain is available to register subject to some rules. Where .co.uk or org.uk or .me.uk existed prior to 28 September 2013 their registrants have precedence to register the .uk variant of the name. The reservation period is five years but we would recommend registering early so you can use either variant. Where none of these existed and where the domain is not excluded anyone can register the .uk name subject to Nominet rules.
Plum Communications are able to register the new .uk domain names now as well as the second level domains managed by Nominet (see below).
.co.uk
The number one domain for British businesses online.
.org.uk
The preferred non-commercial domain for championing causes and raising support, intended for non-commercial organisations and is most commonly used by charities, trade unions, political parties, community groups, educational councils, professional institutions etc.
.me.uk
The personal domain for individuals wanting to build a unique, online presence.
.ltd.uk
For private limited companies, designed to work with the system used by Companies House, companies should be able to have a domain name which closely matches their company name.
.plc.uk
For public limited companies, designed to work with the system used by Companies House, companies should be able to have a domain name which closely matches their company name.
.net.uk
For Internet Service Providers.
.sch.uk
For schools, because many schools share similar if not identical names, geographical areas are used as third level domains to differentiate between them. For example, schoolname.area.sch.uk.
Other separately managed domain types include:
.ac.uk for academic establishments such as universities
.gov.uk for government bodies
.mod.uk and .mil.uk for UK Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence establishments
.nhs.uk for NHS organisations
.police.uk for UK Police Force
For more information or to register domain names please call:

10 million reasons why .UK is a great place to be
This month the 10 millionth .UK web domain was registered, underlining the growth of the internet economy in the UK.
.co.uk is the go-to domain for businesses in the UK and has been growing strongly with around a million new registrations in the last year.
A .UK domain says you do business in the UK and 4 in 5 internet users prefer .UK results when searching on-line, a great indication of trust in the domain – it really has never been a better time to get your business on-line and .UK is great place for it to be.
To celebrate this milestone, the folks at .UK are giving away a new iPAD daily to one lucky person who registers or renews their .UK domain name between 28th March and 26th April 2012.
