Domain Name

There are three good reasons to have a domain name:

1. It gives your site a more individual and professional look.
2. It provides extra keywords which assist in search engine search.
3. You can transfer the website to another web host without losing your website's position in Google Search

Bundled into our quoted prices is a domain name with .uk extension. For other extensions there will be a small extra charge.

Choose a domain extension:

• .co.uk for a business based in the UK
• .me.uk for a personal website of someone based in UK
• .org.uk for a UK group or organisation
• .com for an international business
• .org for an international organisation
• .eu to be identified with Europe in some way

There are many others. Ask us for advice.

We normally recommend .co.uk extension for UK accommodation sites because they feature better in searches of Google UK pages. Even for a holiday property to let abroad we would recommend a .co.uk extension if the target market were Brits. If however, the target market were Americans we would recommend .com. If the target market were Spanish, we would again recommend .com or maybe .es.

Choose a domain name. Some guidelines:

1. Easy to spell
2. Easy to give out over the phone and be properly heard
3. Contains keywords useful for search engines e.g. hotelswindon.co.uk
4. Must contain no characters other than letters, numbers and hyphens (-) e.g. a1hotel-swindon.co.uk

If you don't already have a domain name, try finding a suitable one using the tool at the top of the page. As you cannot have the same domain as someone else, you may need to try other alternatives if your first choice is not available.
