Domain Names
If you are serious about optimising your presence on the web and making a real impression, then you need a distinctive domain name. A domain name is the address of your company on the Internet, e.g. www.yourcompany.com. This is unique to your company and can be whatever you wish it to be, as long as someone else has not already bought the one you want!
Why not use our domain search tool to check availability of your preferred domain names, or ring us on 0845 029 7766, so we can check availablitiy for you and help with the selection of alternatives.
There are many possibilities for domain name extensions, for example .com, .co.uk, and more recently .info and .biz. These allow you to indicate either your type of organisation or in which country your operation is based.
Once you have chosen a domain name, it is a good idea to buy the most common spelling variations and the most popular alternative extensions. This will ensure that a competitor cannot appropriate your potential clients if they happen to misspell your domain name when searching the net for your company (A common problem).
Domain names are bought for 2 year periods and the price varies according to the extension. The most popular are .com and .co.uk which sell at GBP 35 and GBP 25 respectively for two years. The newer extensions, .info and .biz are GBP 45 for a two year period. Even if you buy a number of spelling variations for the same domain name, this is likely to be a modest investment in brand protection to enable you stay ahead of your competitors.
Optix Solutions can register any number of domain names for you at the above prices, which are incredibly competitive. Once you have obtained your own domain name, we can set up your corporate email incorporating this new address, e.g. anyone@yourcompany.com, and you can have as many personal email addresses as there are staff members or departments in your company. This is important in todays business world in the maintenance of a solid corporate image. People are far more likely to choose a company with an email address such as info@optix-solutions.com than optix@hotmail.com.
