domain name registration
The first step to getting your business on the web...

If your business is new to the web, one of the first steps you’ll need to take is to register a unique domain name. Once you’ve registered your domain name, you have the exclusive right to use that name for your website, and for all your e-mail accounts.

We can assist you by:

  • Helping you choose a domain name to suit your business
  • Registering your domain name for you, quickly and cheaply

Domain name hosting is best summarised as linking a domain name to your web site.

Not only can you register www.mysite.com, but you can also create an unlimited number of email aliases like myname@mysite.com. You may even want to create a domain alias for your online shop like as http://toys.mysite.com which can point to a subsection of your web site, or a different web site altogether.
