The process of purchasing your Domain Name could not be simpler. All you have to do is inform us what you would like your address to be, and we will perform a search to check it's availability. If your chosen name is available (e.g. www.mybusiness.co.uk) we will register it for you. If not, we will present you with a list of alternatives (e.g. www.mybusiness.com or www.mybusiness.net).

The registration process is carried out via Switch Media. Domain names are rented for two-year periods, at the end of which you will be given the option to renew your contract by Switch Media. This is standard practice for all domain name transactions in the UK.

Acquiring your domain name via Switch Media offers you the following extra features:


As a rule of thumb .co.uk addresses usually cost around £5.50 per year and .com addresses around £8.99 per year.*

*Prices correct at time of publication.

Domain Name Suffixes

The .co.uk or .com endings of domain names are called suffixes. There are a number of different suffixes available for you to choose from. Some of the most popular are listed below:


Certain restrictions apply with some suffixes. For example there are strict criteria applied to registering for a .ltd.uk web address. We would discuss these matters with you where appropriate.

A Domain Name is much like a trademark or a license. It allows people to find your website by name instead of by number. It also allows customers to have a much more professional look because their website can be:

http://www.mybusiness.co.uk

There can only be one of any domain name in the world. For example http://www.pthdesign.co.uk/ could not be registered and used by somebody else, as we already have it!

Your web address doesn't have to be the name of your company. You can have marketing-driven names as well. For example Norwich Union's web address is www.quotemehappy.co.uk, as that is their major marketing slogan.
