As of 10 June 2014 it will be possible to register a .UK directly at the second level such as lexsynergy.uk alongside existing domains such as lexsynergy.co.uk and lexsynergy.org.uk.
IF YOU OWN A CO.UK DOMAIN NAME IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU REGISTER THE CORRESPONDING .UK DOMAIN NAME.
UK address for service required
An address for service in the UK is required for foreign registrants, which we will offer at no additional cost.
How do I get a .UK domain name?
If you have a co.uk domain name you have 5 years to register the equivalent .uk domain name.
If two or more domains exist with the same name such as lexsynergy.co.uk and lexsynergy.org.uk, the co.uk will be offered the .uk equivalent. Where there is no co.uk, the org.uk will be offered the new .uk equivalent. Where there is no co.uk, org.uk, the me.uk will be offered the new .uk equivalent.
If you registered a co.uk domains between 28 October 2013 and 9 June 2014 you will have rights to the .uk equivalent as long as there is no ‘clash’ with any existing matching domains registered before that period.
How to register?
On or after 10 June 2014 you will be able to order your .UK domain from the Lexsynergy control panel or alternatively email the domains you wish to register to [email protected] and we will process them for you.
We will also be emailing our clients a list of their co.uk domain names so they can select the .uk domains they wish to register.
