Domain Management team
The Domain Management team helps to protect critical government services that depend on the security of the .gov.uk domain.
Who we are
The Domain Management team sits in the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO), which is part of the Cabinet Office.
We monitor public sector domains to keep them secure.
Our priorities
Our priorities are to:
- verify applications for .gov.uk domain names
- keep track of all of the .gov.uk domain names
- scan and monitor the .gov.uk domain name space to identify issues and help organisations fix them
- work with organisations to make sure .gov.uk domain names are renewed
- help organisations with .gov.uk domains sign up to the Registry Lock service
- make sure that .gov.uk domain names are registered with role-based government accounts
- provide organisations with support to solve any other DNS related administration or technical issues
Current outreach activities
The Domain Management team is seeking to improve how we support public sector organisations with their .gov.uk domains.
We are asking organisations to approve additional monitoring on their .gov.uk domains.
If you have received an email about this approval request, it is genuine and the domain holder or security lead should complete it.
Contact us
Email support@domains.gov.uk for any questions about domains monitoring and vulnerabilities. Continue to contact domainmanagement@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk for questions about registering a .gov.uk domain.
