You will need a website address for your
website. This is called a domain name and If you do not already own
one or have one in mind
let us know what you would ideally like. Domains are available with
many different suffixes, many of which carry various connotations
relating to both the business type and it's location. The main
domains used in England are .co.uk and .com.
Other popular ones (but
usually only used after .co.uk or .com has been taken are
.org.uk, .biz, .org, .net, .me.uk and .info. We would only
advise these of these if a suitable .co.uk or .com
domain cannot be found as the main two give a positive indication of
location and maturity in the case of .co.uk and a global
presence in the case of .com (if you can secure both domains
that is ideal!). If your chosen domain is not available then we
will endeavour to come up with suitable alternatives.
Please note
that your domain name does have relevance to search engines
results and that you are probably primarily seeking people who do not already know of your
existence. To that end a domain name that reflects the nature of your business rather than your company name may be a better option. We can also setup your website to work with both a search engine friendly domain name as well as one that reflects your company name.
Alternatively a catchy or easily remembered name may be a better option than one that reflects your business name. Websites in the
uk are growing at a phenomenal rate with the registering of .co.uk
domains now actually having reached the amazing rate of 150 every
hour! (click

We
can arrange for the registration of domain names on your behalf and
unlike many website companies they will be held in your name rather
than ours!
