01. What is a .ltd.uk domain?
A .ltd.uk domain is a restricted UK domain extension intended for private limited companies registered with Companies House. It allows eligible businesses to create a web address derived from their official registered company name.
02. Who can register a .ltd.uk domain?
Only eligible incorporated private limited companies listed with Companies House can register a .ltd.uk domain. Partnerships and unincorporated businesses are not eligible under Nominet's registration policy.
03. Can an overseas company register a .ltd.uk domain?
The registrant must meet Nominet's UK company eligibility requirements. An overseas company without the required UK company registration does not qualify simply because it operates or serves customers in the United Kingdom.
04. Does my .ltd.uk domain need to match my company name?
Yes. The requested domain must be derived from the company's official registered name using Nominet's naming rules. These rules include removing certain company suffixes, punctuation, and other specified terms when forming the domain name.
05. What documents are required to register a .ltd.uk domain?
You must provide your company's full registered name and Companies House registration number. Nominet may also request proof of incorporation to confirm that your business meets the registration requirements.
06. How long can I register a .ltd.uk domain?
.ltd.uk domains can generally be registered for periods between 1 and 10 years. You can renew the domain according to the available registration terms and your registrar's renewal process.
07. Can I use a .ltd.uk domain for my business website?
Yes. An eligible company can use its .ltd.uk domain for its official website, product pages, company information, and other business-related online services.
08. Can I create a business email address with .ltd.uk?
Yes. You can connect your .ltd.uk domain to an email hosting provider and create professional addresses such as [email protected] or [email protected].
09. Does .ltd.uk support international characters?
No. .ltd.uk does not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). Domain names use standard English letters, numbers, and permitted hyphens.
10. Can I transfer my .ltd.uk domain to another registrar?
Yes. A .ltd.uk domain can be transferred between registrars through Nominet's transfer process. You should check the receiving registrar's requirements and ensure your company continues to meet the registry's eligibility rules.
11. Does a .ltd.uk domain support DNSSEC?
Yes. DNSSEC is supported for .ltd.uk domains. When configured correctly, it helps protect DNS information by allowing validating resolvers to verify the authenticity of DNS responses.
12. What happens when my .ltd.uk domain expires?
Under the current Nominet legacy process, the domain can generally be renewed up to 90 days after expiry. It may stop resolving after approximately 30 days if it remains unpaid. If it is not renewed, it is released at around 95 days after expiry and may become available for registration by another eligible company.
13. Can I restore my .ltd.uk domain after it expires?
Yes. Under the current legacy expiry process, an expired .ltd.uk domain may still be recoverable during the period before its release. Contact your registrar promptly to request renewal or recovery and confirm any applicable fees.
