Your domain name

Your web address: choosing it, owning it, keeping it.

Is a domain name included?
  • Yes — a free .co.uk, .uk or .com.
  • Registered in your name.
What if my domain is taken?
  • We will check on the first call and suggest alternatives.
  • A slightly longer name with your town in it often works better anyway.
Can I use a domain I already own?
  • Yes. We point it at the new site.
  • You keep it where it is or move it to us — your choice.
Who owns the domain?
  • You do.
  • It is registered in your name, not ours.
What happens to my domain if I leave?
  • It stays yours.
  • We release it so you can point it wherever you like.
Should the domain have my town in it?
  • It can help people recognise you, and it reads well in a search result.
  • It is not a ranking trick on its own — the content of the page matters more.
  • We will suggest a few options on the first call.
How long does the domain take to work?
  • A new domain is usually live within a few hours.
  • Moving an existing one can take up to 48 hours to settle.
What happens when the free year is up?
  • The domain renews at cost as part of your package.
  • There is no separate bill for it.
Can I have more than one domain?
  • Yes. Extra domains can point at the same site.
  • Ask us and we will tell you whether it is worth it for your trade.
Is .co.uk or .com better?
  • .co.uk signals a UK business, which helps for local trade.
  • .com suits you if you sell beyond the UK.
  • Both are included at no extra cost.
Do you provide email hosting?
  • No. We build and host websites, not email.
  • Your domain works with any email provider you choose — Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are the usual ones.
  • We will point the records at whichever you pick.
