Every price, including the second year

The renewal price, next to the first one.

Endings are sold to registrars at a promotional rate for the first year and a real one after that. Most sites show you the promotion in big type and the renewal in a footnote. Both are in the same table here.

No VAT is charged. Prices cover one year. Premium names carry a price set by the registry rather than by us; if the one you search for is premium, the portal shows you that price before you commit to anything.

What comes with it

Everything a domain needs, already switched on.

None of this is an upsell on a second screen. It is what a domain does when you buy one on a Blinki account.

How buying one works

Search it, buy it, and then forget about it.

The dull bit in the middle, where most people give up, is the bit we do.

01

Search

Type the name. We check every ending at once and show you the first-year and the renewal price side by side.

02

Buy it

It goes on your Blinki account with everything else. No separate registrar login to keep track of.

03

It connects itself

The records that point it at your site and your mailboxes are written for you. There is nothing to copy out.

04

It renews

Reminders at 30, 14 and 7 days, and auto-renew on unless you turn it off.

Bought here, connected here

One name, and everything sits behind it.

The website, the inbox and the phone number all hang off the same address. Buy the domain on your Blinki account and the wiring is done before you have gone back to the dashboard.

  • Your website, live on it
  • Mailboxes on the same name
  • Spam records set correctly
  • HTTPS handled for you

Connected. Nothing to copy out.
Moving one in

Already own one? Bring it, free.

Two ways to do this, and which one you want depends on whether you would rather keep the registrar you are with.

01

Point it at us

Change the nameservers where you bought it. It keeps living there, but it serves your Blinki site. Takes minutes and costs nothing.

02

Or transfer it across

Take the transfer lock off, get the authorisation code, and hand both to us. For most endings the transfer adds a year to the registration.

03

Nothing goes dark

Your site and your email keep working through the move. We copy the records across before the switch, not after.

04

We will do it for you

Send us the login or the auth code and UK support does the moving parts. No charge for that either.

How we compare

What is usually different a year later.

None of this is a criticism of any particular registrar. It is a description of what a domain bought on its own tends to cost you in attention.

Worth knowing

Two things that catch people out.

Neither is our doing, but both cost people money, so they are better said out loud.

The second year

First-year pricing is a registry thing

A .com is £14.99 for the first year and £17.99 after. A .site is £5.99 and then £29.99. That jump is set by the organisation that runs the ending, not by the registrar selling it to you.

It is fine to take the cheap first year. It is not fine to be surprised by the second one, which is why both numbers are in the table above rather than in a footnote.

The address, not the shop

A domain is not the same as a website

Buying a name gets you the address. It does not get you anything at the address. That is what the £24.99 a month covers, and you can build the site for nothing before you decide.

The other way round works too: plenty of people buy the name years before they build anything, just so nobody else has it.

Questions

The things people ask us.

Including the ones about leaving, because a page that will not answer those is hiding something.

Talk to somebody
How much is a .co.uk?

£12.99 for the first year, and £12.99 to renew it.

Does the price go up when it renews?

It depends on the ending. A .co.uk, .uk and .net renew at the same price. Some endings, like .com, .info and .site, have a cheaper first year set by the registry. Both numbers are in the table above.

Do I actually own the domain?

Yes. It is registered in your name as the legal registrant, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you want.

Can I move it away later?

Yes, at any time, and there is no exit fee.

Do I have to set up DNS records?

No. The records that point it at your site and your mailboxes are written for you. If you want full control of the DNS records, you have it.

I bought a domain somewhere else. Can I use it?

Yes. Either point its nameservers at us and leave it where it is, or transfer it across. We do not charge for the transfer, and UK support will do it for you if you send us the login or the auth code.

What does a transfer cost?

We do not charge for the transfer. For most endings it adds a year to the registration.

What happens if I forget to renew?

You get reminders 30, 14 and 7 days before it is due, and auto-renew is on unless you turn it off.

Can I hold more than one?

Yes. One login shows every domain you hold with us, all on the same invoice.

Do you sell premium domains?

Premium names carry a price set by the registry rather than by us. If the one you search for is premium, the portal shows you that price before you commit to anything.

Can I get email on my domain?

Yes. Mailboxes start at £3 a month, and the mail records that keep you out of spam folders are set for you.

How long until it works?

A .co.uk or .uk is usually usable within minutes of payment. Endings like .com go through a different registry and can take a couple of hours to be visible everywhere. Nothing needs doing by you while that happens.

Is my home address published on the internet?

On .com, .net, .org and the other gTLDs, free WhoisGuard privacy is applied, so your details are not in the public record. On .uk names, Nominet lets an individual not trading as a business opt their address out of the public register.

If I stop paying for my website, do I lose the domain?

No. The domain is billed separately from the website. Cancel the site and the name is still yours to renew, point elsewhere, or transfer out.

One address, everything behind it.

Your website, your inbox and your number all sit behind the same name, on one login and one bill.
