Who We Are
We’re proud to operate the UK’s national domain name registry for the millions of individuals and businesses who rely on it every single day.
A public benefit company, we run .UK for the greater good, and work with our members to help bring the benefits of the internet to all.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is an essential part of the internet’s infrastructure, and we help to run the DNS that supports government services, including the NHS.
As a trusted registry service provider, we help some of the world’s biggest brands have their own home online.
