Who can buy a .uk domain name extension?
Will a .uk domain be good for my brand?
For sure. There is no better way to show the world that you are proud to be British and to be a business in Britain, and the .uk domain is the best way to do just that. It is of huge importance for many Brits to support the ‘Buy British’ and ‘Shop Local’ movements, and by putting the .uk domain extension behind your brand, you show your customers that you support British too.
Why is a .uk domain good for an online business?
In the UK, more than 80% of those shopping online say they would buy from a .uk website over a .com. Furthermore, a convincing 93% of online shoppers would choose .uk over the newer extensions like .shop or .online, so when you pick a .uk for your online business, you’re ahead from day one.
Is the .uk domain extension a ccTLD?
It is. The acronym ‘ccTLD’ simply stands for ‘country code Top-level Domain’. There are more than 1,500 TLDs in use now, but back in 1985 when it all began, there were only seven: .com, .org, .net, .int., .edu, .gov, and .mil. Then came the country specific ones like .co.uk. And now, there is a domain extension to suit almost any business, industry, organisation, and blogger.
Can I transfer my .uk domain from another provider to LCN?
You can, and it’s easy peasy. All you need to do is follow the transfer in process via your LCN Account. Following that, get in touch with your current domain name provider and ask them to change the IPS TAG (short for Internet Provider Security Tag) to ‘LCN’. Once your current provider has updated the IPS Tag, the transfer should complete within a couple of hours - you can then monitor the transfer from your LCN account. If you have any issues along the way, our super helpful Support team can help.
What does it cost to transfer my .uk domain to LCN?
