Domain names

Need a Domain Name?

If you are looking for a new website one of the things you will need is a domain name (eg. the domain for our website is reflectivewebdesign.net). This is the part that you use to get to a website or send emails. (Note that the www does not form part of the domain name).

There are many types of domain "extensions" (the.com part). These include top level international domains such as .com, .org, .net, .biz and even .name. Then there are the country level domains (in the uk there are prefixes such as .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, some of these are reserved for ltd companies and plcs in the uk).

Generally, there is no restriction on the domain extension, initially .com was for commercial sites, .org for non-profit making sites etc, this is not controlled however and there are many examples of .org commercial sites and non-profit .com sites.

Please check that whoever registers the domain for you that it is registered in your (or your company's/partnership's/charity's name).If this is not done you may have problems if you want to move the domain to another provider.

We are happy to advise you on domain names if you wish.

UK Domains

However, if you have a uk domain name you may receive a letter from a company called Nominet containing a security code and asking you to confirm the domain. These are perfectly above board and should be responded to. It is best if you, the client respond since it proves to you that the domain is registered in your name, however should you wish we can respond for you, you will need to send us a copy of the letter with the security code shown. Nominet is the only Registry for all uk domain names.
