Just as your home has a street address whereby people can visit you and send you mail, all web sites have what is known as a domain name, which works in a similar way. To register a domain name is a simple process and for this we use the services of a domain name registration company based in the United Kingdom.
Before we can register a domain name, a search must be made to see if that domain name is available. If your chosen domain name is available we can register it.
A domain name can be up to 63 characters in length and can consist of all the letters in the English alphabet plus the numbers 0 to 9 and the hyphen. A domain name can be a mixture of these characters but cannot start or end in a hyphen. Hyphens are used to separate words within the domain name to make the name more readable, as in iris-website-design.com. or you may choose to omit them as in iriswebsitedesign.com
There are also many types of domain name extensions available, the most popular of which for the UK market are .com & co.uk. Other domain name extensions available to register are .info .org .net .biz .org.uk .me.uk and the fairly new extension of .eu for websites within the European Union.
