What is a .uk.net domain?
.uk.net is a private namespace under the ordinary .net domain uk.net, run by CentralNic — it is not an ICANN top-level domain and not part of Nominet’s official .uk registry. Public WHOIS shows uk.net registered since 27 February 1997, with DNS on CentralNic name servers; every yourname.uk.net address is created there.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it the UK country code? | No — the UK’s code is .uk, run by Nominet UK |
| Who controls it? | CentralNic, which holds the .net name uk.net |
| Does IANA list it? | No — only .net (the parent) is a TLD |
| Who may register? | Anyone; no UK address or company required |
| WebJi® listing | ₹31,346 to register, ₹33,304 to renew — availability confirmed before payment |
Why is .uk.net priced so high?
WebJi® billing lists .uk.net at ₹31,346 to register and transfer and ₹33,304 a year to renew, before 18% GST — about 32 times the renewal of .co.uk. It is a rarely stocked namespace, so WebJi® checks live availability and the exact renewal band with the supplier before charging anything.
| Option | Register (₹) | Renew (₹/yr) | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| .uk.net | 31,346 | 33,304 | Private CentralNic namespace |
| .co.uk | 831 | 1,026 | Nominet, the UK commercial default |
| .uk.com | 5,000 | 5,000 | Private CentralNic namespace under .com |
| .net | 1,650 | 1,950 | The ICANN generic TLD itself |
For planning only, one year of .uk.net plus one renewal at today’s prices is ₹64,650; nothing is charged until availability is confirmed in writing. Ask support@webji.services before ordering.
When does .uk.net make sense for an Indian business?
Rarely as a main address; mostly as brand protection for a company already known in the UK. A firm whose name is valuable in Britain may register its label in look-alike namespaces so nobody else can, and .uk.net is one of them.
- Defensive registration: an Indian brand with UK retail presence blocking a look-alike address.
- Matching an existing .net brand: a company that trades as yourbrand.net and wants a UK-flavoured version.
- Not a good fit: a new business looking for a UK address, which is better served by .co.uk or .uk at a fraction of the price.
What are the risks of a private namespace like .uk.net?
The main risk is continuity: a private namespace exists only as long as its operator chooses to run it. In April 2017 CentralNic closed eight sister namespaces, including .gb.com, .hu.com and .se.com, and holders lost those addresses. .uk.net is still listed for sale, but it should never be the only address a business depends on.
The second risk is confusion. Visitors may assume a .uk.net site is British, while search engines see a .net address with no UK country signal. Keep your main site on an ICANN-recognised domain such as .com or .uk; the .hu.com page shows how a closed namespace affected holders.
How to request a .uk.net name from WebJi®
Because stock is rare and the price is high, .uk.net goes through the support desk rather than an instant cart order.
- Check the label in the domain search box on this page.
- Email support@webji.services with the exact name you want.
- WebJi® confirms availability, price and renewal band with the supplier, in writing.
- You decide; payment in INR is taken only after confirmation, with a GST invoice.
- If it is not available, WebJi® quotes .co.uk, .uk or .uk.com instead.
Other extensions are listed on domain registration in India, and WHOIS lookup shows who holds a name now.
Frequently asked questions
Is .uk.net the same as Nominet’s .uk?
No. Nominet UK runs the official .uk country code, including .co.uk and .org.uk. .uk.net is a privately operated namespace under the .net name uk.net, run by CentralNic.
Why does .uk.net cost more than .uk.com?
The supplier prices the two namespaces differently. WebJi® billing lists .uk.net renewal at ₹33,304 a year and .uk.com at ₹5,000, both before 18% GST, so .uk.com is the cheaper British-looking fallback.
Can I transfer an existing .uk.net name to WebJi®?
Billing lists a .uk.net transfer at ₹31,346 before 18% GST. Because of the cost, write to support first; WebJi® confirms the transfer path and renewal price before you start.
Will a .uk.net address rank better in Britain?
No. It sits under .net, so it carries no UK country-code signal. UK rankings come from UK-focused content, local links and reviews; a .uk or .co.uk name adds the country signal.
