The .me.uk domain was introduced to fill a gap in the UK domain space for individuals to have an identity on the internet. With .co.uk for commercial, and .org.uk for non profit organisations, there was no real place for individuals to have their own identity.

Individuals can now get their own .me.uk domain, e.g. you could have fredbloggs.me.uk and so have email [email protected] and web space at www.fredblogs.me.uk and so on. The domains are available on a first come first served basis.

If you are lucky, you may be able to get your surname, e.g. smith.me.uk which would allow your whole family to have subdomains and email address at no extra cost - e.g. www.john.smith.me.uk and [email protected] .

.me.uk

Introduction

The me.uk Second Level Domain was introduced on January 14 2002. It is the first new SLD to be introduced since Nominet started operating the .uk Registry in 1996. Details of how the SLD was approved can be found in the voting results .

The me.uk Second Level Domain is intended for personal use. Domain Name registrations made under .uk are expected to be made for natural persons, such as Mr John Doe registering johndoe.me.uk. For further information see the Q&A .

Registrations are made on a first-come, first served basis in accordance with the Rules for me.uk. You can find advice for Nominet members on registering me.uk domain names using our automated systems in the tag holders section of the Nominet website.
