Domain name guide

Choosing domain name What's in a Name?

When choosing a Domain name there are a number of factors which should be taken into account.

Length

People usually don't like typing in long names - normally the shorter the better and easier to remember.

Punch

Your domain name is a vital component for your online presence, therefore it should be easily identifiable, and relate to your business name, product or brand.

Type

If your company is UK based, then a .co.uk is fine, even if your business includes exporting abroad. If your organization has an international presence then maybe a .com or .net will be more appropriate.

The smart business choose both or more. You can have as many web addresses as you want pointing to the same website. Plus if you have more web addresses pointing to your web site you can submit each address independently to search engines.

FREE Services

When you order a domain name from us you recieve a host of free services. These include:

FREE Email forwarding

This is a very useful feature which allows you to have unlimited email addresses at your domain. For example sales@yourname.co.uk , fred@yourname.co.uk etc. All mail received at these addresses will be automatically forwarded to your existing email address. This feature will make your email address look far more professional. For example sales@travel.co.uk looks much better than sales@travel.freeserve.co.uk.
