How to choose a domain name

Keep it short, easy to say and close to your business name. Avoid awkward hyphens where possible, and think about how it will look on vans, invoices, email signatures and search results.

  • Search your exact brand name first.
  • Try .com and .co.uk if you sell to UK customers.
  • Register close alternatives if they matter to your brand.

Instant domain registration FAQs

Plain answers for people who want to register a domain name and get moving.

Search for the domain you want, choose an available extension, complete checkout and the registration is submitted online. Most domains are active within minutes, although some registries can take longer to confirm.

The search form adds .com automatically when you type a name without an extension. If you type another extension, such as .co.uk or .blog, the form keeps that extension instead.

No. You can register a domain first and decide on hosting later. Hosting is needed when you want the domain to show a website or run services such as WordPress and email.

Choose .com if you want the most familiar global option. Choose .co.uk if your customers are mainly in the UK. Many businesses register both to protect the brand.

Yes. Once the domain is registered, you can connect email hosting and create addresses such as hello@yourdomain.com or sales@yourdomain.co.uk.
