Domain registration
We offer a domain registration service for all clients, and being a JANET authorised ISP we also register domain names ending with ‘.gov.uk’ and ‘.ac.uk’ for eligible organisations.
Domain registration prices
In many cases you can register domains more cheaply with one of the large registrars and you’re very welcome to do that, even if we are providing the hosting. However, bear in mind that it is very easy to let registration lapse through forgetting to update bank cards or contact details, or be confused by DNS entries that you’ll need to set up and update periodically.
You may feel embarrassed that after saving a fiver over two years you then have to ask us to log in to your 123Reg account to salvage your domain. We’ve been doing this for well over 20 years and have never lost one, only because we are obsessive about keeping everything paid up well in advance and ensuring records are kept up-to-date.

Price increase for .ac.uk, .gov.uk, .gov.scot, .gov.wales and .llyw.cymru domains
Dec 2020: Jisc have increased the cost of registration by 25% so we have raised our price accordingly to avoid actually making a loss on these. Prices above are correct from 1st Dec 2020.
TLD prices
Dec 2018: The June 2016 fall in the value of the pound we have regrettably had to increase the price of registration for TLDs to £17.50 per year. This price may change depending on future fluctuations.
