The .UK zone files

Introduction

The zone file is available to all and contains files for the .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, .net.uk and .sch.uk zones, subject to standard licence terms.

We will also provide a list of all domains currently registered with Nominet. This will include domains that are suspended, or do not have nameservers attached and are therefore not included in zone files.

How to apply

Members can find the ‘Zone File Signup’ application form under the ‘Account Settings’ section of our online service.

Non-members please email [email protected] with the following information:

• Provide identification (in the form of government standard photo ID, showing both name and address (for individual or director of company), also with a picture holding the photo ID
