Domain Name FAQ's

What is a domain name, and why should I register one?

This first part of the address after www. that you enter into a web browser (e.g. mydomain.com) to find a web page on the internet. It is also the last part after the @ sign in an email address.

Domains are useful for business and personal use, for having your own website, online shop and email address.

What can I do with one?

There is a lot you can do with a domain name, but first you need to add some services to it. For example if you want to build a website for your business or just for fun, you will need a Web Hosting package to get the website online. To find out more about how to do that please go to the UK2 Web hosting page.

What is a TLD and which should I choose?

A TLD is defined as a Top Level Domain. It is the letters that follow the domain name, for example for www.example.com the TLD is .com

There are different types of TLDs:

• Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD)
  For example .com .gov these are typically used for organisations
• Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD)
  For example .uk for the United Kingdom
• Unsponsored Top Level Domains (uTLD)
  For example .biz .info are used for various different services

The choice of TLD is really down to your preference - .com is often seen as international whereas .co.uk is seen as UK only. You may find that the most popular are already taken.

Registering several types of domain name can be a good idea though, as it stops other people from registering your name and leaves it ready for you to use either right away or in the future.

If I register a one is it mine for life?

When you register a domain it is usually registered for an initial period of either 1 or 2 years. At UK2 we operate an auto renewal policy designed to ensure continuity of service, which means that at the end of the initial registration period we will renew automatically for a further registration period. However, if you no longer need the domain name you can of course cancel before this happens.

Can I use my it immediately?

Once you have chosen and registered it usually takes up to 12-36 hours for all the DNS servers across the internet to know about your new domain name. This means that while you might be able to access your domain, your next door neighbour might not if he is using a different DNS server.

I am registering one for a client - who should be the registrant?

If a company is paying for you to register the name it should normally be registered under their name as transferring at a later stage is a time consuming process and may incur additional costs.
