Why do I need a Domain?

To Setup your Website Address

The way the internet works means you must have a registered domain name to set up a functioning website. Without one, there would be no website address for anyone to visit. Only with a registered domain name can customers find you, ambassadors link to you or search engines list you.

To Establish your Brand Identity

The domain name you choose speaks volumes about who you are as a brand and this can bring real benefits for your online reputation and, ultimately, the success of your business venture. At the same time, registering a domain prevents others from using it to gain from your brand or deceive your customers.

To Represent your Business Online

A domain name shows potential customers and partners that your business operates in a professional manner. In doing so, it gives your brand increased credibility and establishes trust - something that internet users see as essential when visiting or buying from websites.

To Create Professional Email Addresses

Registering a domain name, allows you to create domain email addresses. If you register ‘mybusines.co.uk’, for example, you can create addresses like ‘[email protected]’ or ‘[email protected]’. These make your business correspondence more professional and trustworthy.

Domain Name FAQs

What is a domain name?

The term ‘domain name’ is the hosting industry jargon for a website name, e.g., eukhost.com. Domain names are made up of two parts, the name, e.g., ‘eukhost’ and the top-level domain (TLD) e.g., co.uk. These are always separated by a dot.

How do I choose a great domain name?

What makes a great domain name depends very much on the company choosing it. Ideally, when doing a domain search, you need to look for a name that matches the brand. Most owners choose to use their company names, though sometimes they may include their location or type of business in the name too, e.g., smithsbuilderslondon.co.uk. Choosing a name that is memorable, short, easy to spell and easy to type on a smartphone can also be helpful.

Before domain name registration takes place, you need to use the domain search page to see if your preferred name and TLD combination is free. If not, you might need to look at alternative TLDs or names.

What is a subdomain?

Subdomains make it possible to create child websites that share your main website domain. If, for example, your main website was mybusiness.com, but you wanted to create individual sites for customers in other countries, you could create a subdomain for each country. These would have addresses such as fr.mybusiness.com for France and de.mybusines.com for Germany.

What is a domain extension?

Domain extensions or top-level domains (TLDs) are used to help categorise websites. They help users and search engines understand the type of organisation or location a website belongs to. For example, .gov is for government organisations, .org is for non-profits, .accountant is for accountancy firms and .co.uk is for UK companies. When choosing a domain, it is helpful to find one that best suits your organisation.

What domain name extensions are there?

Until a few years ago, there were only a limited number of domain extensions, most of which were geographic. Others included .gov. .com, .net., .org, .edu, .ed.uk and .co.uk. Today, however, there are 100s to choose from and new ones continue to be added from time to time. Most of these are for specific types of organisation or business, e.g., .cafe and .gallery, while others are for cities, e.g., .london, or continents, e.g. .asia. As a leading domain name provider, you can register your domains right here at eukhost.

Can I buy the same domain name as my registered business name?

In theory, you can register a domain name that is the same as your registered business name. However, this depends on a number of factors. Firstly, ICANN’s domain register will only accept letters numbers and hyphens in a domain name, secondly, it has to be a minimum of 3 characters in length and, thirdly, you cannot register a domain name if it is already registered to someone else.

Can I use hyphens and numbers in my domain name?

Yes, you can register domain names with hyphens and numbers. However, a domain name cannot use other symbols or punctuation marks.

Is domain registration difficult?

No, We make domain registration a quick and easy process. Simply enter the name you want in our domain search bar and click enter. When the new page opens, you’ll see all the available options. Choose the domain extension that’s right for you, click ‘Add to Cart’ and then go to the checkout. It’s that simple.

Does my domain name choice affect SEO?

Using keywords in your domain name might have some SEO impact but it won’t be the most important factor affecting your website’s ranking. Search engines change their ranking criteria all the time, a domain name, on the other hand, may be needed for decades to come.

What should be the length of my domain name?

Domain names can be between 3 and 253 characters in length. When making your domain purchase, remember that the easier the domain name is to remember, type and spell, the easier it is for people to visit your site.

I already have a domain name, can I transfer it to eukhost?

Absolutely. To transfer a domain name to eukhost, simply follow the instructions further up this page.

Can you help me find the perfect domain name?

Our domain search tool can quickly help your find the domain name you are looking for; however, when it comes to deciding what the perfect name is, no one knows your brand better than you do.

Can I sell my domain name?

Yes, it is possible to sell your domain name, provided you have an active domain registration.

What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is a system that matches your website’s domain name with your server’s IP address. As humans use names and computers use numbers, DNS essentially translates the domain name into an IP number so that a user’s browser can find your website on the internet.

What are new gTLDs or new domain extensions?

Generic TLDs (gTLDs) are domain extensions that categorise domain names by the type of organisation. There are multiple new version of these, such as .builder or .cloud.

What are ccTLDs?

Country Code TLDs (ccTLDs) are domain name extensions that indicate the country where a website is based or most related to, for example, .uk (United Kingdom), .ie (Ireland), .it (Italy).

Does a domain name come with email?

When you buy a website domain, this includes the exclusive right to use that domain name for your emails. However, to create and use those email addresses, you will need a web hosting plan that comes with email hosting included.
