Why registering a business domain name is so important

A suitable domain name and a well designed website that is effectively optimised for the search engines will help your business reach a large audience, and at a lower cost than you could possibly achieve in any other way.

Within the next two years, mobile phone users who are seeking services and products online using their smartphones will account for more than half of searches being made on the internet. Any business which relies on advertising to generate new customers must seriously consider getting their business online now before it's too late.

Registering a domain name now will enable your business to have a unique identity and make it simpler to get a website established sooner, rather than later.

In the UK, registering a domain name for your business can be as little as £2.99 per year for a .co.uk name. And getting a website set up is now more affordable than ever. The results of promoting your own website can be very rewarding and cost effective in comparison to the amount spent.

For example, I provide budget websites based on simple templates for as little as £35 for a 3 page site, plus £5 per month web hosting that will keep your webvsite connected and available to access 24/7 continuously all year round.

The web servers I use are top notch. Email addresses, autoresponders and mailing lists can all be set up using this affordable account. Visitor stats are also available via a control panel so it's easy to see how many daily visitors your website is receiving.

Although the .com domain name extension is still the most sought after TLD (Top Level Domain), the .co.uk extension is priced lower and perfect for companies and organisations in the UK.

If the name you want is no longer available as a .com or .co.uk then you might consider using other domain extensions such as .biz .info .name and .tv  These are often available when the more popular .com  and .co.uk names have already been taken. However .com and .co.uk domains tend to fare much better in the search results.

Because a domain name is so important to the process of getting your business online, you would be ill-advised to put off registration until you have a website designed.

I would recommend registering a domain name as soon as possible. Good domain names are disappearing fast so grab yours while you can.
