.me.uk Domain Registration India
.me.uk is the personal-names zone of the UK's .uk, run by Nominet, and its rules restrict holders to natural persons — companies should use .co.uk. WebJi® lists it at ₹831 for the first year and ₹1,026 per renewal, before 18% GST. It suits Indian students, professionals and families with UK ties.
For Indian individuals studying or working in the UK, and British-Indian families, who want a personal UK address in their own name.

What is a .me.uk domain?
.me.uk is the personal-names second level of the United Kingdom's .uk country code, administered directly by Nominet UK. Nominet's Rules of Registration describe it as “a personal namespace within the .uk Top Level Domain” and list its purpose simply as “Personal names”, next to co.uk for commercial use and org.uk for not-for-profits.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Parent TLD | .uk, country code of the United Kingdom |
| Registry | Nominet UK, Oxford (IANA manager for .uk) |
| Who may hold it | Natural persons only, under Nominet Rule 10.2 |
| DNSSEC | .uk has a secure delegation at the root |
| Characters | Letters a–z, digits and hyphens; no hyphen at the start or end |
| IDNs | Not offered; names beginning “xn--” are not allowed |
Can a company register .me.uk?
No. Nominet's Rule 10.2 says .me.uk registrants must be, and remain at all times, natural persons, and may not be recorded as an agent, trustee or proxy for a company or other entity. Nominet can reject, or later reverse, any registration or transfer that breaks this charter.
- Individuals: any person may register in their own name; the rules contain no UK-residence condition, and WebJi® confirms registrant details before ordering.
- Businesses: an Indian company targeting British customers should use .co.uk or the direct .uk instead.
- Older names: .me.uk names registered before 25 October 2004 are exempt from the person-only rule until they are next transferred or cancelled.
- Dispute transfers: if a dispute decision hands a .me.uk to a non-person, it may be held but not used.
Which Indians use a .me.uk name?
.me.uk suits Indian individuals with a UK connection: students at British universities, professionals working in the UK, and families with relatives there. It reads as a British personal address and costs less than most personal endings.
| Person | Example | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Indian student on a UK master's programme | aditi-rao.me.uk | CV and projects for UK graduate recruiters |
| Doctor or nurse registered to work in the UK | drsanjayiyer.me.uk | Professional profile and contact |
| IT professional on a UK posting | vikram.me.uk | Personal email that survives job changes |
| British-Indian family | thepatels.me.uk | Family photos, events and shared mail |
How much does a .me.uk domain cost?
WebJi® lists .me.uk at ₹831 for registration and ₹1,026 for each renewal year, before 18% GST — the same as .co.uk, .org.uk and .uk. As a planning figure, the first year plus two renewals at today's prices comes to ₹2,883; checkout confirms the actual charge.
| Extension | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Who can hold it | Order |

.me.uk, .uk or .me — which should an individual choose?
Take the shorter yourname.uk if it is free, .me.uk when it is not, and Montenegro's .me when you want a personal address with no British link. All three are open to an Indian individual; only .me.uk is restricted to people, which keeps its namespace personal. None of them carries a ranking advantage by itself, though .uk names are country-targeted to the UK in search.
Transfers and expiry for .me.uk names
.me.uk transfers use Nominet's registrar TAG system rather than an authorisation code: your current registrar changes the TAG to WebJi®'s, and the name moves. After expiry, Nominet suspends the website and email at 30 days; the name can still be renewed until 90 days after expiry, after which it is released. Keep auto-renew on; the domain renewal guide covers the general stages, and domain transfer explains moving a name to WebJi®. A personal site runs well on WordPress hosting.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to live in the UK to register .me.uk?
Nominet's Rules of Registration set no UK-residence condition for .me.uk; the restriction is that the holder must be a natural person. WebJi® checks the registrant details with you before the order is placed.
Can I register a .me.uk for my spouse or child?
Register it in that person's own name. Nominet's charter forbids recording a registrant as an agent, trustee or proxy for anyone else, so the name on the record should be the person who will use the domain.
Can I use Hindi characters in a .me.uk domain?
No. Nominet does not offer internationalised domain names, so .me.uk labels use only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens. For a Hindi-script personal name, .me supports Hindi IDNs.
What should I budget for .me.uk over five years?
About ₹4,935 before 18% GST as a planning figure: ₹831 for the first year plus four yearly renewals at today's ₹1,026 (₹4,104). Renewal prices can change, and checkout confirms the actual charge.
Is .me.uk protected by DNSSEC?
The .uk zone has a secure delegation at the root, so DNSSEC can be enabled for a .me.uk name when your DNS host supports signing.
