About Nominet

Formerly known as the UK Naming Committee, Nominet is the UK government appointed body responsible for the administration and management of most domains ending in uk. Second-level domains it does not control include .nhs.uk, .gov.uk and .ac.uk, domains of the NHS, government and academic organisations respectively. It was created in 1996. We became an accredited registrar of the .uk TLD in 1999 with the tags X9INTERNET and GOHOT.

Unlike the equivalent organisations in many other countries, Nominet does not itself sell or register domain names. This task is delegated to registrars such as X9 Internet, but Nominet does provide unbiased advice to registrants about registering, maintaining and protecting their domain names. To date, there are about 9.4 million .uk domain names in use with an annual growth rate of over 21%. Nominet is estimated to be the fourth largest TLD in the world.
