Anyone buying a domain name from any provider is required to provide correct contact details which are then added to the public, globally accessible WHOIS database. This information is often used by third parties for spam, scams, and selling on. You can prevent your contact details being listed in this way with our Domain Privacy service. If you’re buying any .UK domain name (ending .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk) and you’re a non-trading individual, you can hide your contact details from public view for free from your control panel. Registering a domain name with another extension? We’ll show secured contact details instead of yours when you add our Domain Privacy service to your domain name.

Your domain name is set to renew automatically so you don’t have to worry about remembering it yourself! If you prefer not to auto-renew, you can change this from your control panel.
Different domain names have different governing bodies, and it’s these organisations that dictate the wholesale price of domains to registrars like us. Despite this, we do our best to ensure our prices are as low as possible for our customers.
The domain governing bodies (not us) put domain names into redemption when they’re certain amount of time (usually 30 days) passed their expiry date. The purpose of this is to give the existing domain owner a final chance to renew their expired domain before it goes back onto the open market. It’s important to note that when a domain is in redemption, attached websites or email addresses will no longer work.
Renewing a domain during the redemption period incurs an additional fee levied by the governing body (again, not by us) – and this fee can be surprisingly high! We always recommend that customers renew their domain names way before they expire to avoid ever having to renew a domain in redemption.
