Domain Name and Registration

Domain Name
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 ours for instance, for Argyll Technologies, we chose argylltechnologies.co.uk. 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 fully registered 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.
