What is a domain name?

What makes an effective domain name?
A name that is easily memorised, or recalled and is not too long. The longer the name is the more likely it is that your customers may make errors when typing the name into the browser. The name could be either your company's trading name
or
becoming popular now, a name to reflect your products or services name of the products or services. e.g. (if you sell air conditioners then airconditioners.co.uk would be suitable).Make sure that the domain name looks professional on company literature and fits in with your corporate identity.

Many people ask these questions about domain name registration. The short answer is yes you may register multiple domain names. If you would like to read more about the advantages of registering more than one domain name and what names to register - visit our Domain Names web page
How long does it take to register a domain
name?
Once you have requested GCW to register your domain name - it will be registered immediately and usually become active within 24 Hours.
What happens to my domain after the initial
registration period?
Prior
to the expiry of your initial registration
period you will be sent a renewal invoice by
GCW. You do not have to worry about "losing" your
domain name as providing you pay the renewal
invoice the domain name will be renewed by
GCW on your behalf.
Why is the domain name I registered recently still showing up as
available?
Domain
registry databases can take between 24-48 hours
to be updated so even though your domain has
been registered it may still show up on WHOIS
or "domain checkers" as being available.
Global domain names tend to take the longest
to show up as being registered due to a new
shared registry system.
How do I arrange for my domain name to point to my website?
How do I set up an email account for my new domain name?
You can have more than one email account on your new domain name. i.e. sales at my domain.co.uk john@mydomain.com. Simply give us a call on 0845 166 2786or use the Domain Configuration form.
