What are the different types of domain names?

Most new British businesses start with a .co.uk or .com - but there are other options depending on your goals.

Domain names to
show off your local roots

If you’re a UK business then grabbing a British domain name will make you a more appealing option to UK shoppers.

In fact, Nominet – the company that manages all the UK's domain name extensions – recently reported that 81% of British Internet users would choose a .co.uk website over other alternatives.

  • .co.uk - Show your British heritage with the essential domain for any business trading in the UK.
  • .uk - A shorter, attention-grabbing, alternative that could be easier to remember.
  • .org.uk - Perfect for charities and community groups wanting to present a reputable and trustworthy online presence.

Domain names to
widen your reach

Are you looking to bring your business to a wider audience? Or perhaps you’re already trading internationally?

A domain name is perfect for letting you spread your wings around the world.

  • .com - The most popular domain extension in the world lets you reach the largest possible audience.
  • .org - Ideal for clubs and non-profits, .org is about integrity, community awareness and good causes.
  • .net - Establish trust and credibility with .net - a flexible choice for businesses, organisations and brands.

The more domain names, the better...

Remember, you’re not just limited to one domain name. Registering your business name in several different extensions protects it from being mis-used and brings you to the attention of as wide an audience as possible.

I am very happy with names.co.uk domain registration, their customer support line as well as via tickets - very helpful. My enquiries are sorted within a moment, support is friendly and understanding. Recommended.
