Domain Names for business websites

What is a Domain Name?

The Domain name is the name of your web site, such as 'YourCompany.Com' or the closest name to it that is available. Thousands of names are bought every week! If you are planning a website ask us to register your preferred domain name now otherwise someone else might.

Which is better .com, .co.uk, .org...?

.Co.uk means that the site is a United Kingdom site. A domain name ending in .co.uk can be setup to rank higher for searches for uk services, it can also discourage internet users in other countries from browsing your site. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage.

.COM stands for 'Commercial' and is not associated with any particular country .Com is generally considered to be the most impressive domain name, commercially speaking that is, it should really be used for international websites. .Org stands for 'organisation' and is usually used for non-profit making organisations. You may register almost any kind of domain name e.g. .com, .net, .org the only difference is that .com has become more popular and therefore is more memorable. You can even register a domain name for another country e.g. .It (for Italy), .To (for Tonga) simply because you like the sound of the name e.g. JustDo.it although as you might expect that name has gone.

Ask us to create your website and we'll setup the right name for you
