Vision

A public benefit company that is a force for good in the UK digital economy and the global internet community, with the .UK registry at the centre of our work, delivering services that make our world more connected, inclusive and secure.

Mission

To provide a world class .UK namespace; operate critical national infrastructure that is safe, secure and resilient; and protect public services from cyber threat in the UK and internationally.

Who are we?

We want to create a world which is more connected, inclusive and secure. For 25 years we have been operating at the heart of the internet infrastructure as proud guardians of the .UK domain name registry. Our understanding of the Domain Name System (DNS) underpins a sophisticated cyber security capability used by governments to secure their networks. We aim to generate a surplus to invest back into our service and fund our public benefit activities.

Our Work

We are a world-leading domain name registry. We run .UK - part of the UK's critical national infrastructure - and other top level domains, including .bbc, .wales and .bentley.

Our experience in running and protecting one of the largest internet registries has enabled us to use our expertise in DNS to develop Protective DNS solutions. Our delivery of the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) Protective DNS (PDNS) secures 6m users across the UK public sector.
