All prices in USD for a one-year term, as published by each registrar. Registry and ICANN fees are included where the registrar includes them; taxes are not. Confirm at checkout before buying.
Save $5.06 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Porkbun at $26.32. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $21.26 — 19% less:
- Register at Netcetera for the first year.
- Transfer to Porkbun before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Porkbun for years three to five.
Registries require a name to be 60 days old before it can transfer, so plan the move for renewal time rather than straight after registering.

.co.uk frequently asked questions
01How much does a .co.uk domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $3.68 at Porkbun. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $5.66 at Porkbun, so five years costs $21.26.
02Why is .co.uk renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 54% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .co.uk for five years?

04Who runs the .co.uk registry?
The IANA root database records the sponsoring organisation for .co.uk. Registrars sell .co.uk names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .co.uk domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .co.uk. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
