gov.uk domains for government non-departments

As a central government non-department (AKA arm’s length body) in the United Kingdom you are encouraged to use a .gov.uk domain when communicating with and providing services both within government and to the general public. The .gov.uk domain space is quite rightly more strictly controlled than other second-level domains such as .co.uk which are wide open for public registration and so you will need to ensure that you fulfil the relevant requirements. Openstrike can help you navigate through this process and can provide you with secure domain management and associated services providing peace of mind throughout.

What to do next

There are three possible scenarios depending upon which type of domain(s) you currently use. Please follow the appropriate links here for further information.

• You do not currently use any domains
• You currently use one or more domains in a namespace other than .gov.uk
• You currently use one or more domains in the .gov.uk namespace and wish to change providers
