Deleted .uk and .co.uk domains

.uk and .co.uk domains that Nominet deleted in the last 14 days, newest first, with a live registry check of which are still free to register now, plus history, spam check and scores.

Deleted domains by extension: .com, .net, .org, .se, .nu, .it, .hu, .au and .com.au, .fr. Also: just dropped, free to register now, caught domains, pending delete.

How deleted .uk and .co.uk names are released

Nominet cancels a name about 90 days after expiry and releases it at the exact time on its drop list. Once deleted, a name is free to register on a first come, first served basis. .uk and .co.uk names on this page come from Nominet's own published data or zone files, and we re-check each one with the registry after the drop.

Who can register a .uk and .co.uk name

Anyone, through a Nominet-accredited registrar. Click Register on a row, or search for the name at any registrar that sells .uk and .co.uk.

What the columns mean

• History: the year the Internet Archive first saw a website on the name, and how many years it was captured. This is website history, not registration age.
• Spam: our own 0 to 100 score from the archived URLs and history: gambling, adult, pharmacy, replica or loan pages, Chinese/Japanese keyword spam, mass-generated pages and long spells of redirects all raise it. Hover or tap the score for the reasons. It is an estimate, not Moz's Spam Score.
• Authority: the name's rank in Common Crawl's public web graph (lower is stronger), a free measure of how well linked it is across the web.
• Wiki: how many Wikipedia articles link to the name (English Wikipedia, plus the country's own edition for extensions such as .se, .it and .hu), from Wikipedia's own public data. Links from Wikipedia are a strong sign the old site was real and trusted. A dash means not checked yet.
• Old site topic: what the old website was about, worked out from the words in the addresses of its archived pages (such as /menu or /recipes), so you can find a name whose past matches your plans. Shown once the name's archive history has been checked.
• MM: the rank in the Majestic Million, Majestic's free daily list of the million sites with links from the most different networks (subnets). Any expiring name in it is rare and still well linked. Hover for its number of referring subnets; a dash means it is not in the list. Turn the column on in the Column manager.
• Old site: how many pages Common Crawl's recent crawls fetched on the name and the main language of their content. A name whose old pages are in a language that does not fit its extension often had spam on it. A dash means not checked yet; turn the column on in the Column manager.
• Words and topic: under each name, the dictionary words it splits into and its topic, so you can filter for keyword or brandable names. Pattern uses C for a consonant, V for a vowel and N for a number, so CVCV finds names like "bako".
• Other TLDs: how many of .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .io, .de and .info are already registered with the same name. Names taken in many extensions are usually valued keywords.
• DA, TF, DR: Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs metrics, shown where we have measured them. A dash means not measured, never zero.
