Our Guide to Domain Names 

A Domain Name is a more memorable/recognisable label that links to a numerical computer location where your web-site is hosted. 

Domain Names are unique World Wide Web addresses to locate your Web-site.

We have provided a link to an Accredited Registrar to enable on-line, and real-time registration for a whole range of domain types. A number of registrar facilities that exist today only have the capability to take your order, and e-mail  your request to an Accredited Registrar (and of course they add their profit!) 

Allegedly, Internet tools and services exist to monitor the Registrar's receipt of requests for the potential hi-jack of either good or threatening Domain names - another reason to use an on-line, real-time facility. 

Register.com are a highly respected Registrar in the USA that offer competitively priced UK Domain name styles ie  yourname.co.uk (see below for more info)

Check our general information and link facilities on this page.

Domain Name Disputes and Ownership Issues

Domain Names - are they more important than you think?

Domain Names are as valuable as any brand name or trademark.

Domain Names are identifying tags that should compliment your company name, image and trading styles.

Unfortunately, over 10 million Domain Names have already been registered, and so there is often some disappointment that "yourcompany.com" was registered by someone some years, or even days, ago.

If you suffer any difficulties, we can provide advice to assist the process of registering a suitable name for you, or if you wish to dispute the ownership of an existing Domain. 

Where appropriate we can arrange other specialist domain name monitoring services to alert our client to the potential threat to their name.

Domain Name Guidelines

Most 2, 3, and 4 digit Domain Names are now registered, but expect a dash for the new Global Top Level Domains (gTLD). See below.

All names are considered as lower case and without spaces.

Domain Names often use Hyphens for a space eg e-exec.co.uk

You can include numbers in the name eg 12345.com

Domain Names can be up to 61 characters (for .com etc)

You should also consider if you require 

                                    .com   .net   .co.uk      etc, etc

Pricing depends on the extension  to the name (ie .com, .co.uk, .tv)

We do not wish to be involved in "ghosting" names of current large brand companies for future profitable gain.

Check and Register a Domain Name: On-Line now!

You need to investigate the availability of the name before attempting to register.

Register.com offer on-line, and real time submissions for .com, .net, and .org

They also offer .co.uk and a growing number of other country variations.

What do we like about Register.com?

They are the one of the largest registrar services in the world.

They provide the facility where YOU can retain control of your Domain Name, by means of your own account/password. Most registrars do not offer this facility.

With most registrars you have to rely on their co-operation for changing services. 

You can keep access and control of your name, wherever your site is hosted.

Register.com also offer the popular .tv domain names!

New world wide domains - Expected registration from 2001 

Yes - due to the extensive growth in Domain Name demand and regulatory interventions, new Global Top Level Domains (gTLD) will become available from appropriately approved registrar services - watch this space for updates.

ICANN - the governing body for Domain Names announced the new domains November 2000 - to be available sometime in 2001.
