It would seem that there are still charities that haven’t yet registered their domain
names.
It would seem that there are still charities that haven’t yet registered 
their domain names. The latest figures from Netnames indicate that so far 168,297.
org.uk addresses have been registered. Given that some charities have registered
multiple domains – some have registered over 30 – that probably leaves many of the
182,000+ charities in England and Wales without domain names.

One can assume that these are smaller charities and there is an argument that their
limited budgets do not stretch to protecting their name online or off. But if you
can afford the £10 or so for two years to register a .org.uk address it is worth
considering.

 

 

 

 

The voluntary sector does not of course exist on .org.uk suffixes alone. There are
also 23,656 .sch.uk addresses for schools and 2,313 ac.uk addresses for higher education
institutions. To put these in context, there are 2,467,064 co.uk registered domain
names for for-profit organisations. Again, some of these will be registered by charities
or their trading arm.
