Domain Name Registration

A domain name e.g. www.mycompany.com or www.mycompany.ie in its simplest form is an Internet Website address. Just as your house or apartment has its own unique identifying address for the post office, so does each and every Website in existence.

In the business world, domain names are becoming as common as telephone and fax numbers. If your advertisements and business cards don't display a domain name, you run the risk of being completely passed over by customers that prefer to browse merchandise and services online.

A good domain name is vital for a business. Make sure it is easily remembered, not too long, relevant to your business and easily understood over the phone for example. Having a registered domain name with a live website is sometimes the first priority for a business today, because it is a very inexpensive way to get your business name and information in front of the public.

When selecting your domain name you can choose from a range of top level domains such as .com; .ie; .net; .tv; org and .eu Once your domain name is registered it is unique to you and cannot be registered by anybody else but you do need to renew it on an annual basis.
