Domains and SSL Certificates for Schools

Domains

E2BN provides a Domain Name service (DNS) for Members.

Schools and organisations that pay for E2BN broadband and internet services directly or via their LA can do the following: 

  1. Use E2BN's name servers to host your domain records. We will make any necessary changes on your behalf - free service included in your membership.
     
  2. Use E2BN's Nominet Registrar services. These include registration of new .co.uk and .org.uk domains and acting as "tag" holder for many types of .uk domains. If you wish to move your existing dns records to our nameservers, it may be appropriate for you to transfer your domain(s) to us. Some of these services are chargeable.
  • Registration of new domains - £80 per domain plus VAT
  • Renewal of domains - 5 years - £37.50 per domain plus VAT
  • Transfer domain in to E2BN - free
  • Transfer domain out from E2BN - free
  • Host and maintain DNS records - free

We cannot register .com .net and other non uk domains.

If you wish to register a new .sch.uk domain you will need to do this via Nominet directly. If you wish E2BN to hold the domain for you , please notify Nominet that you wish to transfer the new domain to "E2BN".

SSL Certificates for Schools

Many online services that schools provide for their users require the use of end-to-end data encryption. In order for a user's device to "trust" the service provider the host server should have a valid SSL certificate installed.

We can provide the necessary certificates for domains owned by schools that take their broadband service via one of our member LAs or via E2BN Direct.

The cost of a single SSL certificate with up to 3 SANs ( subject alternate names ) via E2BN is £50 plus VAT.  Certificates with up to 8 SANs £100.
