Registering a domain name is essential for most companies
To establish yourself on the Internet with a unique email address and/or website URL is a must. Most companies and organisations recognise the importance of having a unique domain name reflecting their corporate name and identity, and protects your company name from being used by other parties.
What if the name I want is already taken?
If the name you want to use is already taken – then try a slight variation on that name, think up a new one, register the same name with a different domain extension or visit us again to check again for another name. If your first choice is not available, consider the same name with a slight variation, or a different ending. For instance: example.com is not available? Try example.net, example.co.uk
What is a Shared Server?
Once your domain is registered you can setup your web site on a Shared Server. This gives you an address such as www.example.com - it’s a web server with just your site on it. For more information visit the Shared Server page.
What should I do if I am planning to start an organisation in the future but I want to reserve a domain now?
If you are planning to start an organisation or company but do not have an official name established yet, simply enter your name in the Organisation field. Once you have established your organisation you can change your organisation name and information later.
