::  What Is A Domain Name?
A domain name is a text name which is used as a convenient way of finding your way around the Internet. It is part of a system called Domain Name Service (DNS) which provides you with an easy to remember address.
Using appropriate domain names makes it easy for people to find you on the Internet, gives your online business more credibility and since you own the name you are not tied down to a particular Internet Service Provider (ISP) - you can change providers as often as you like without changing your e-mail or web address.

Many names have already been registered and are in use by other parties or individuals. You can use our free domain search to check if your preferred name is still available.

Your domain name will be registered immediately on receipt of your order. Once your domain name has been registered it can take up to 48 hours before it becomes visible to all users of the Internet.
