How .co.uk is priced
1 of the 4 registrars whose .co.uk pricing we have verified prices it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 3 discount year one (median renewal 1.3× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $5.66 to $10.99 a year.
A flat seller and a discounted one can look identical in year one and differ sharply by year three, so compare the renewal or the multi-year total.
