What is a domain name?	^top
www.websites.by-jackson.co.uk is a domain name, as is www.boltonpc.co.uk, etc. This is the name which will identify your site on the Internet.
How do I get a domain name?	^top
As part of our standard website package we will register a .co.uk or .com domain name on your behalf, other domain name extensions such as .biz are available but may cost extra. Please note, if you are aiming to market within the UK, then you should really be using a .co.uk domain name. If you wish to sell overseas, the best domain name to go may be a .com Many names are already taken so you will have to choose carefully. One thing to consider is whether you wish to name your website after your company name or name it after your products or service. For example, if your company name is Peter Jameson Water Pumps in Leicester, you could call your website www.peterjameson.co.uk which is easy for your customers to remember. However, for the best search engine results, you may wish to use a name that includes a key phrase people are looking for on the search engines. One example could be www.leicester-water-pump.co.uk or www.water-pumps.co.uk. If your main business geo target is Leicester, then www.leicester-water-pumps.co.uk may be your ideal choice. Have a think about what name you think you'd like to use or call us and we'll gladly offer advice and peform a free search engine analysis and come up with a number .of choices for you.
