uk.app checks a name's availability with no account
uk.app sells names of the form yourname.uk.app, a name under uk.app rather than a country-code domain, for a website, a home server or a side project. Standard names cost £4.99 a year with automatic renewal, and every name includes managed DNS, dynamic DNS and REST API access. Availability and price are checked live on the site, with a WHOIS lookup available too.
Registering a domain name usually means an account first, and a name tied to that account from the start. uk.app splits those two steps apart: checking a name costs nothing and needs no account, and only buying it moves the process forward, at whatever point that decision is actually made.

What is actually being sold
uk.app sells names in the form yourname.uk.app, a name under uk.app, for a site, a home server or a side project. This is a different product from a country-code domain administered by a national registry; only the first of those two is what uk.app has on offer, whatever the name on the page might suggest to someone reading it quickly.
Checking a name needs no account
The live checker and the WHOIS lookup on the site can be used before opening any account at all. Typing a name shows whether it is available and what it costs, with nothing tied to your own identity required just to look, before deciding whether to buy it at all or move on to a different name entirely.
Price and what is included once you buy
Standard names cost £4.99 a year and renew automatically; premium names are priced apart from that base rate. Every name includes managed DNS, dynamic DNS and REST API access, covering both pointing the name at a server that changes address and automating changes to it through code, without a separate purchase for either capability on top of the yearly price.
What a WHOIS record can still show
A WHOIS lookup exists because domain ownership is a matter of public record in most registries. uk.app's own site does not state what appears in a WHOIS entry for one of its names, or whether an owner's details are masked by default; that is worth checking directly before registering a name meant to stay unattached to a person, rather than assuming a subdomain name works differently from a full domain here.
One name, a small yearly cost
A small project, one chat page and a handful of articles, fits under a single uk.app name at £4.99 a year, without a bundle of extra names or a higher-tier plan required first. The same managed DNS, dynamic DNS and API access apply whether the project stays small or grows into something larger later on, with no separate plan change needed in between the two.
