Choosing a Domain Name
 

A Domain Name is a unique address on the Internet, which holds information and services. A Domain Name can provide you, or your business, many facilities. It can give you personalized email addresses, a personal Web site (allowing you to take advantage of all the Web has to offer, including e-commerce, advertising, global sales etc), and lots more

You cannot buy a Domain Name; you can only register a Domain Name. There are only a few authorised companies around the world have the job of delegating Domain Names for use. The process of acquiring the use of a Domain Name is called ‘registering’ a domain. Local 2 Ltd uses several of these authorised companies (known as ‘registrars’) to register domain names.

It is recommended that you register the co.uk, .com and the uk.com versions of your Domain Name, if available. This will prevent visitors of your Domain Name confusing you with other companies, who may later purchase a similar version and steal your visitors.

You may also want to consider registering other variants of your domain name, including hyphens, abbreviations etc. (e.g. company-name.co.uk). This will help in promoting your Internet presence.

You can register a .com, .net, .org & other GTLD domains for any period from 1 to 10 years. Currently UK domains can only be registered for a period of two years, after which time we will remind you to renew your domain. Local 2 Ltd registers all domains for a minimum of 2 years.
