NameUK and UKName are separate websites operated by Steinberg Ltd. Their published UK prices differ: compare the first payment, annual renewal and a like-for-like three-year example. This is NameUK’s own comparison, not an independent review.
Before you begin
- Read the shared-ownership disclosure.
- Compare the same ending and term.
- Use the live basket price for your purchase.
What this comparison covers
We checked UKName’s public pricing page on 13 October 2026. The table below compares standard .co.uk and .uk prices in GBP with NameUK’s current published prices. It does not score customer support, reliability or features that have not been independently tested.
The two sites have shared ownership. That relationship is disclosed so you can judge the comparison in context. Choose the offer that fits your intended term and check the exact order before payment; these figures are a dated comparison, not a promise of future renewal rates.
UK registration and renewal prices
Compare the same ending and the same payment schedule. The annual-payment example adds the first year to two renewals at today’s published rate. NameUK’s three-year initial offer is a different upfront payment option.
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to compare all five columns.
| Provider / ending | First year | Annual renewal | 3 years, paid annually | 3 years, paid upfront |

When the lower first-year price matters
UKName’s published .co.uk and .uk first-year price was £8.99 when checked. NameUK’s current .co.uk first-year price is £9.99. UKName therefore has the lower initial one-year .co.uk amount in this comparison. Compare the renewal and term as well before choosing.
For a name that you plan to use over several years, include renewal in the comparison. A later annual renewal difference can change the overall result. Use totals for your actual planned term rather than a headline chosen in isolation.
When NameUK’s renewal offer is useful
NameUK’s current .co.uk annual renewal is £9.99, compared with UKName’s £10.99 when checked. That is £1.00 less per annual .co.uk renewal at the compared rates. Keeping the amount visible makes budgeting easier for a name used in business email and a long-running website.
The three-year initial NameUK offer covers .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk, subject to eligibility. This comparison table uses .uk and .co.uk because those are the directly matched UK offers on the UKName page checked. It does not imply that a three-year offer is available at every provider or on every ending.
Make the final choice on the exact order
Both sites describe domains separately from hosting and mailboxes. Decide where you want to manage the name and check the transaction details before committing.
- Search the exact name and confirm it is available.
- Compare the selected term and complete amount due.
- Check the ongoing renewal amount and contact details.
- Wait for registration confirmation after payment.
