Cheapest renewal over time
No need to shop around here — Cloudflare wins on both long-term cost and transfer price. $5.30 to register, renewing at $5.30, with transfers running $5.30. 5 years: $26.50.
The 3-year numbers hold the same shape: $15.90 direct, $5.30 via transfer, both through Cloudflare.
Renewal prices span $5.30 at Cloudflare up to $22.68 elsewhere. Multiply that 4.3x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's less than half the $49.90 median for Countries extensions, which is unusual.
💡 Bottom line — The five-year total is what actually separates registrars, not the sign-up price. For .co.uk, Cloudflare's real number is $26.50, next to Porkbun's $4.32 headline.
.co.uk is the long-standing British address for commercial sites. It sits under .uk, which Nominet manages, and like other extensions you buy it through a registrar.
The usual worry is whether you need to live in the UK to hold one. Nominet's registrar documentation says that addresses for service are no longer required and that PO Boxes are accepted as valid address types, a change it made as part of its GDPR-related updates. It also says the rules for the shorter .uk names were aligned with the rules for names like co.uk, so one registry sets the terms for both.
Because the product is identical at every registrar, the differences in the table above come down to the first-year price, the renewal rate and the extras bundled in. Look at the renewal column before you commit: a low first year is common, and what you pay from year two is what you will pay for as long as you keep the name.

.co.uk questions
How much does a .co.uk domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $4.32 at Porkbun, and renewal is $5.66. Over five years that comes to $26.96, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .co.uk cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .co.uk the renewal is 1.3× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
Which registrars sell .co.uk?
23 of the registrars we track currently offer it. The table above lists all of them with current registration, renewal and transfer prices.
Does .co.uk support DNSSEC?
Yes. The .co.uk registry supports DNSSEC, so you can sign your zone and have resolvers verify the signature.
