Check Domain availability

Pick a .co.uk domain!

a .co.uk domain will perform better than a .com or any other domain name in the UK based search engines. So pick a .co.uk!

Include your keywords!

(Real Example) If your business name is Sweet Sonya’s, but Infact you bake cupcakes in Kent for a living, you should ideally pick something like www.cupcakeskent.co.uk rather than www.sweetsonyas.co.uk. This does not only help the search engines rank you better, but people who do not know what you do will know more about you because of your domain name.

It is our job to find a good domain name, so if you need help get in touch.

Pick two domain names!

As a real example again, we will take sweet sonya’s. In an ideal world you want to have your emails setup on www.sweetsonyas.co.uk so you can have info@sweetsonyas.co.uk however the search engine friendly domain name will take priority. So why not buy two domain names. www.sweetsonyas.co.uk for emails, anyone who types that in can be redirected to www.cupcakeskent.co.uk where the website will be hosted. This way your marketing is not interrupted.
