domain name registration

What is a domain name?

A domain name is simply the address of your website. The best domain names are often short, snappy and easy to remember and is generally related to your business - most companies simply opt for their business name.

However, choosing a common search phrase for your domain can often improve your rankings on some search engines. As an example - if you are a sofa shop wanting to sell sofas online and you are targeting the UK, you may want to consider www.uk-sofas.co.uk. This, coupled with a correctly optimised page would stand a better chance of gaining a number one ranking on some search engines for the key phrase "UK sofa". The domain name forms only a very small part of the overall picture for a high ranking website.

We provide a domain name registration service for clients wishing to use our web design services. Please provide us with a list of relevant addresses as sometimes the name has been already used. Ideally you want a .com or a .co.uk address as people will remember that more. You can however have a .org.uk, .net, .me.uk, .info or .biz. We will review your choice and send details of availability and offer advice on alternatives if your choice is not available.
