UK domain name registrations – new lower pricing!

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

A .co.uk domain name provides your website with a UK identity online and is the domain name of choice for individuals and businesses within the UK.

Our UK domain name registrations are now available from £5.98 for 2 years – representing a saving of £5.00 on previous pricing!

Some helpful tips on choosing your .co.uk

  • Try to choose a domain name that is short and best describes your website or business.
  • Think of a few keywords that best describes your website or business. For example, you might be a plumber who provides services within London. Your keyword’s might be london, plumber, plumbing and services. Try any combination of these keywords in our domain name search tool.
  • If your ideal domain is taken, try adding hyphens, for example: “london-plumbing-services.co.uk”. This will help with your SEO as well as getting the domain name you want!
