GoDaddy

Can a member of the public buy a .co.uk here?

Not established. .co.uk was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-10-20. That is a fact about the page we read, not a finding that the registrar does not sell it.

What its page printed

".uk Domain Names ... Starting at £12.99 £0.01 /1st yr"; no VAT wording.

Read from https://www.godaddy.com/en-uk/tlds/uk-domain on 2026-10-20. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the United Kingdom storefronts were read

Nominet's full registrar list (2,563 names over 2,777 tags) was read on 2026-09-29 at registrars.nominet.uk, where the old nominet.uk address now redirects, and 12 storefronts were opened: ten UK retail brands from that list plus the OVHcloud and Gandi UK pages. .co.uk is the namespace ranked because every store read prices it, while several price .uk only beside it. GoDaddy answered 403, and 123 Reg, Easyspace, UK2 and names.co.uk printed no comparable standing .co.uk price with its VAT treatment. Most UK pages state prices excluding 20% VAT and lead with a cut-price first year. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 2,017 registrars on Nominet's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 1,494 were read, 523 could not be, and 68 more print a comparable .co.uk price. On 2026-10-20/21 the 524 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 209 were read this time, 315 still could not be, and 2 of those read print a comparable .co.uk price.
