.UK Growth Programme
The .UK Growth Programme has been designed to support the growth of .UK domains and help our registrars thrive in an increasingly competitive market. The annual programme has been created to give you greater flexibility in how you drive awareness and growth of .UK domains by providing all .UK registrars who are members the option to choose one of the two initiatives; .UK price promotion or .UK marketing campaign funding.
The .UK Growth Programme launched on 3rd June 2026, and sign up for both initiatives is open. You can find out more about each initiative, sign up and view our FAQs below.

FAQs
How do I apply?
To apply for access to .UK campaign funds, please submit this form. One of the .UK account management team will respond, and you will be asked to provide information on the type of activity you are looking to run and the level of funding required.
How do we decide which campaigns receive funding?
Campaigns will be signed off based on the potential Return on Investment (ROI) for both parties and the proposed campaign activity, taking into consideration channel selection, messaging approach, targeting criteria and performance reporting.
Are there any restrictions?
Funds are capped per Nominet account or group of accounts that are linked for voting. All campaigns will be subject to the Terms and Conditions, and all materials and branding must be in line with Nominet’s brand guidelines.
Any repeat campaigns are subject to the performance of the previous campaign activity.
The decision to run any campaign is at Nominet’s discretion.
What is the marketing support available?
We recognise that not all registrars have access to marketing teams and expertise, therefore Nominet will provide marketing toolkits in early summer to help support campaign activity, including:
- The UK Domain logos
- The UK Domain brand guidelines
- UK Domain branded assets can be made available for use across online channels, tailored to communicate awareness and registration campaign activity and promotions. Editable versions can be made available to allow for co-branding with registrar logos.
- Content development guidelines.
All registrars will agree to terms and conditions either at sign up for a promotion or at the point of agreeing commercials for a campaign. You’ll continue to have access to marketing toolkits and assets to promote .UK domains.
If you need any further support or have any questions, please contact us via email.
