The Road Ahead

In line with recent Nominet changes, we will be introducing client lock statuses for all UK domains towards the middle of July. This change mirrors the functionality already available for gTLDs like .com, net etc.

This additional functionality will be available for all current UK domain TLDs (co.uk, org.uk, me.uk, ltd.uk, plc.uk, net.uk, sch.uk, uk).

As we are still finalising and testing the required code changes for this functionality, an exact release date is not yet available. We are, however, aiming to make the functionality available towards the middle of July 2021.

For guidance and an explanation of domain locking, please see this support article.

To continue to support registrants of .com and .net domains that may have been affected by the COVID-19 / CoronaVirus pandemic, the restore fee waiver for these TLDs has been extended for another 60 days until 1st August 2020 at 03:59:59 GMT/UTC.

Additionally, from the 1st June 2020, restore fees will also be waived on .tv, .cc and .name TLDs until 1st August 2020 at 03:59:59 GMT/UTC.

As we indicated back in January, from tomorrow (1st March 2016) all .UK domains will be increasing in price to £5.99 + VAT / Year. This price increase is unavoidable as the UK Registry Nominet will be increasing the prices it charges for all .UK domains by around 50%.

From tomorrow, all .UK domains will be charged at the new rate of £5.99 + VAT / Year. The affected domains are:

• .co.uk
• .ltd.uk
• .net.uk
• .org.uk

To take advantage of the current pricing, we encourage all of our customers to renew or register your domain names for upto the maximum of 10 years before the end of today (29th February 2016).

The change to the new price will occur to coincide with registry change at 00:00:00 GMT on 1st March 2016

From Tuesday 1st March, the UK Registry Nominet will be increasing the prices it charges for all .UK domains by around 50%. Consequently, Calzada Media will reflect this change and our price for .sld.uk domains will be £5.99 + VAT / year. The registrations and renewals under .sld.uk are:

• .co.uk
• .ltd.uk
• .net.uk
• .org.uk

We are pleased to announce that direct .UK registrations (for example mydomain.uk) will remain at their current price of £9.99 + VAT

To take advantage of the current pricing, we encourage all of our customers to renew or register your domain names for upto the maximum of 10 years before the end of February 2016.

The NAME Internet registry (handles all domains ending in .name) will be offline for scheduled maintenance on the 16th September between 0100 and 0500 GMT/UTC.

Any orders submitted for .name domain registration made during this period will not be processed until the maintenance has been completed.
