What
is a Domain Name ?
YourCompany.co.uk
A
Domain Name is the name by which an individual
or organisation chooses to be known on the
Internet. Once registered it is recognised
globally and cannot be used by anyone else
in the world.
A Domain Name
costs £19.00** plus VAT (£22.33 including
VAT) to register including all Registration
Fees.
What is the
difference between a Domain Name, an Email
Address and a Web Site?
The table below
illustrate the differences:
Example
| Power Torches
Limited |
Company Name |
| PowerTorches.co.uk |
Domain Name |
| AndrewJones@PowerTorches.co.uk |
Email Address |
| www.PowerTorches.co.uk |
Web Site Address
(URL) |
The
following is an example of a typical Internet
identity, supplied by an ISP and how a suitable
Domain Name is chosen.
Andrew Jones
of Power Torches Limited is connected to
the Internet via Compuserve, his ISP. They
provide him with an email address as part
of the connection package:
AndrewJones4543@Compuserve.com
for example.
This name, although
of use, advertises the ISP's address every
time he uses it.
Andrew decides
to establish a more professional Internet
presence for his company and wants the company
name advertised every time he sends or receives
an email.
So his ideal
Domain Name is PowerTorches.co.uk
This is
made up by the name he wants to be known
as PowerTorches and the fact that he wants
to register his name in Britain: .co.uk.
Note - Domain
Names cannot have any spaces in the text.
These are either left out or replaced by
a dash (-).
As a businessman
he would benefit from our Corporate Email
package with multiple email forwarding.
This would give
the flexibility of unlimited email addresses
such as:
Sales@PowerTorches.co.uk
Info@PowerTorches.co.uk
Andrew@PowerTorches.co.uk
