 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.
