20 November 2024We’re excited to announce the launch of our new webpage dedicated to the Parish Council Domain Service. This comprehensive resource provides valuable information about the service, including guidance for councils looking to adopt official .gov.uk domains.
The webpage also features an interactive map, offering a visual indicator of councils across the country using .gov.uk and other domain types. This tool makes it easy to explore domain adoption trends nationwide and highlights the benefits of aligning with official government domain standards.
Visit the webpage today to learn more and see how your council can get involved! https://www.slcc.co.uk/domain-name-map/
If your council is thinking of moving over to a .gov.uk domain, now is the time to contact the Parish Council Domains Helper Service and get started on your journey. Complete this simple form and the team will register your interest and invite you to one of their introductory sessions.
The introductory sessions are all virtual and last about 45 minutes. You will be able to pick a date and time that is most convenient to you.
Any council moving ahead with a .gov.uk domain will receive help and guidance at every stage: from getting the greenlight to proceed, to picking the best Approved Registrar for your circumstances, to getting set up on your new domain, all the way through to maintaining good practices after you ‘go live’. They’ll also tell you how you can access the £100 + VAT funding to help with initial costs.
The funding available is already over 70% committed and is only available in this financial year, so if choosing a .gov.uk domain is on your to-do list now would be a great time to make the first step.
