We are a public Benefit Company
Nominet operates .UK for wider good and focuses on driving positive impact through technology. We believe in a safe, free and open internet.
With the UK’s national domain name registry at our core, we work with our members to bring the benefits of the internet to the millions who depend on our services.
Our experience in the Domain Name System (DNS) enables us to support critical internet infrastructure that public services rely on. Our management of the .gov.uk registry means we maintain the security and reliability of digital platforms vital to the operation of UK government. We also provide DNS services for the NHS, allowing healthcare professionals and the public to connect to online services.
We believe in an internet that benefits everybody. This commitment has driven us to fund projects that protect UK citizens from online criminal abuse, as well as nationwide initiatives to address the online skills gap and drive digital inclusion.
To allow the internet to thrive, we contribute to the wider internet community at a governance, policy and technical level.
