What is a Domain Name?

A great advantage of the SABp-Web Package is that it provides you with your own unique Domain Name.  Please note, we can only buy .co.uk domain names for SABp clients.

A domain name, such as yourname.co.uk, is your website’s unique identifier on the Internet.  It can be thought of as the address where your website resides.

When you or your visitors type your domain name into their browser’s address bar the browser will query your Internet Service Provider name server which will provide it with directions on how to find your website.

Basically a domain is web space allotted to a client. The name given to this web space after a site is created is called a domain name.

The domains available include

.com, .co.uk for commercial
.org, .org.uk for charity organisations
.net, .net.uk for Network Service Providers
.ltd.uk for limited companies
.plc.uk for PLC's
.biz for businesses
.ie, .ca, .au for nation specific

Choosing The Right Domain Name

Here are some points to keep in mind:

1.  Keep your domain name short and easy to spell;
2.  Avoid confusing names with unclear spellings (i.e. names with hyphens, names that can be spelled several different ways).
3.  Make sure your name doesn't infringe on another company's trademark.
4.  Choose a name that conveys an appealing image and clearly reflects what your business does.

Your dedicated Account Manager will guide you in selecting the best domain name for your business.
