WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO HOW WE WORK
Nominet UK is a not-for-profit Internet Domain Name Registry. The Company acts as trustee for .uk Domain Names on behalf of the Internet community. Nominet is not a regulatory body - anyone can become a member and Domain Name registrations are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Nominet seeks to be:
- cost and not profit-orientated
- non-discriminatory
- efficient
Nominet is a not-for-profit company, which means that it has no shareholders, pays no dividends and does not proactively sell Internet services. It charges for Domain Name registrations in order to cover its operational costs. Domain Name registration fees are periodically reviewed.
Nominet has over 2000 members who have voting rights and are entitled to input into the way the Company is run. The most active members are Internet Service Providers (ISPs), however anyone with an interest in the Internet may become a member by paying an initial joining fee and an annual subscription thereafter.
