If you wish to have a presence on the web, your domain name is one of the most important decisions you will need to make. Your web site can develop an impression simply by the domain name you have registered.

Dot what?
There are many different extensions available right now. If you are a business, we recommend a .com suffix. It is the first extension that most people try when searching for a site. Also, since it is one of the oldest extensions, .com shows that your business has been around for a while and has a well established presence on the web. However if you wish advertise your location as as a UK based company, a .co.uk suffix is a perfectly reasonable alternative.

Search what?
When trying to choose a domain name be sure to put thought into it. Try to use phrases that are very descriptive of your services or products. Also placing a (-) dash between key words in your domain name can provide you with an advantage in search engines. Try not to have your domain name containing more than 3 words. Having a well thought out domain name that uses some keywords that your customers would use in a search for your site can really help your rankings!

Beware of trademarked names.
There are two really good reasons for this. First, it is rather underhanded. Companies spend a lot of time and money creating their brand, and you wouldn't like it if someone did this to you.
The second reason to avoid trademarked names is that companies are no longer opening their chequebooks to get their names back. They are calling their lawyers.

Move quickly
Domain names are being snatched up fast. You must register soon unless you want to get stuck with "the-domain-name-that-no-one-will-remember.com". Contact us and we'll help you register the name you want before you lose the opportunity.

Sometimes, it isn't a bad idea to register several similar domain names. If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.co.uk" so no one else takes it. You can register your full company and a shorter, easier to remember version. Some people even register common misspellings of their company’s name. we are happy to advise you on the registration of multiple domains.

Special Character types
Just a reminder. Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and hyphens ("-"). Spaces and other symbols are not allowed. Domain names are not case sensitive. New extensions are popping up every day so be sure to research this often to review other possibilities.

Seek opinions
When you have settled on several available name choices, see what your friends and clients have to say. A name that may make perfect sense to you may be too hard for other people to remember.
