You need to register your domain name through a domain name registration company or “registrar”, we can register domains on your behalf or there are lots of other options. Just search Google for domain names and you will find lots of options. Your chosen domain name must be ‘unique’ – in other words it cannot already be registered. There are also some specific conditions that apply to certain domains such as including “LTD” in the name etc.

A domain name is a unique name registered with the relevant registration body in order for a website and associated services such as emails to function. An example of a domain name is “google.com” – this name is registered to Google and allows you to view their website when you type it into your browser.
