Every web site requires a unique domain name. Amaryllis Design recommends that customers source their domains separately through an established domain supplier. It costs just a few pounds per year and ensures your domain name is directly under your control.
You can search and purchase online via UK-based Easily Ltd (above). Usually you can "point" it towards your preferred host, giving maximum flexibility and reassurance for the future. Check our useful FAQ for answers to common questions.
Consider buying the dot-com equivalents of UK domains and hyphenated versions as well, for strategic reasons: it stops anyone else buying them.
For example, consider mydomain.co.uk and my-domain.co.uk, plus the dot-com versions. This may be a very important anti-piracy aspect for some businesses. You can usually "forward" multiple domains to point to one web site so you only pay to host one web site.
Remember, your Internet business could be put at serious risk if you fail to meet your domain name renewal fees in good time.
