The new .UK domain extension was released on the 10th of June 2014, but it has some restrictions as to who can register a domain. Please read this before trying to register for a domain you don't have the rights for we'll have to cancel your order and refund it.

To register a .uk domain you need to first have the .co.uk ending as this is authorised to have first-right over registering the .uk domain name. If you held the domain on the 28th of October 2013 then you have this 'grandfathering' right, .co.uk domains registered after then also get this right if there is no conflict in interest in the domain.

If you see a domain name is available it doesn't mean you can register it unless you have the rights, so please first go to the 'Rights Lookup Tool' from Nominet, who are the central registry for all domain names ending in .uk (including .co.uk .org.uk and so on).
Note: the .co.uk domain will also have to be held with Tortilla so we can verify that you're the rights-holder to obtain the .uk
