Domain Name and Registration
Your domain name can be just about anything you want, as long as it
is not already registered. Most people choose a name which is
closest to their business name, like for instance the
Argyll Coast website where
www.argyllcoast.co.uk was chosen.. The ending of
.co.uk signifies that the business is in the UK. We could have
chosen .com or a host of other endings. For businesses who trade
only in the UK we recommend .co.uk and/or .com. We can help you
choose the right name for your business and register it for you. The
cost of registration for you is £9.95 for .co.uk addresses.
|
The
domain name will usually be registered immediately and fully
probagated within 24 hours. If you
already own a domain name we can organise the transfer if you want
to host it away from its present location. |
