Our stand alone domain registration service includes setting up and maintaining one business POP3 email account for you. If you require more email addresses, we would advise you to opt for one of our PeakEasy Web Hosting Solutions. Other domain registration companies do not offer this personalised set-up service - they leave it to you to set up and administer your email addresses. We will provide individual and personal advice and telephone or email support on how to set up your POP3 email account in the mail client, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, on your computer. If you have a laptop and can bring it to our premises, we will set it up for you.
We can register any Internet domain name for you provided it has not been previously registered. It is preferable to register your domain name through our PeakEasy Domain Registration, as this makes the hosting, configuration and management of your website and the co-ordination of your email accounts much easier. You can transfer your domain name to us if you have registered it elsewhere; please contact us about this.
You can check if your domain name is available now - if it is, we will register if for you (simply phone 01246 236123 or email us) - and you could be up and running on the Internet within 24-48 hours.

A domain name is the web site and email address that people use to find your company online. Computers connected on the internet use a unique number (called the IP address) which would be impossible to remember - therefore the domain name replaces the IP address to make it easy to find a company's web site. Domain names can contain numbers and letters, plus the hyphen. And the domain name can contain up to 67 characters.
Why is it important to have a domain name? A domain name is important to a company's online presence.
It will most likely be the first thing that your potential customers will encounter, and remember your company by if they find your business online. Some businesses still use their internet provider's domain name to conduct business on the Net, but this does not look very professional.

Your choice of domain name can have a big impact on the image and prestige of your company and also has an influence on the success of your activities on the World Wide Web. At present there is not a great deal of regulation controlling who can have what domain name. In this sense the Internet is a bit like the Wild West, with anyone who gets there first able to stake their claim! This is good in that it gives a company freedom to choose the most appropriate name. However it also means that the name or names you want can easily be registered by someone else, even if those names have less relevance to them than to you. If you are too late with your registration the chance to choose the name you want may possibly be lost forever! This happens as there are specialist companies that just hoover up likely domain names and then sell them back to the people who need them - sometimes at extortionate prices!
So even if you are taking your time in assessing how, or even whether, you should be present on the Internet you would be well advised to take steps now to protect those names which will be of importance to you in the future. Fortunately this is easy to do and doesn't cost a fortune; just click here to see if the name you want is available.
Acquiring a domain name is an important first step in building a successful online business. Below are the most popular reasons why individuals and businesses own domain names.
- Improve Your Marketing and Visibility
The right domain name allows customers an easy way to remember and find you. It's your location on the web. It's also your email address. - Build Credibility
Using your domain for your website and to personalize your email helps establish credibility and professionalism. For instance, an email address such as sales@yourdomain.com is more professional than fredbloggs237@btinternet.com. - Protect Your Brand
Purchase the domain name that best represents your business name, bearing in mind that 'shorter is better'. Domains are valuable online real estate. Secure the right name and keep it out of the hands of your competitors.
You may also find many attractive domains for your business. Securing more than one helps protect your brand and increase your reach. You can easily direct as many domains as you want to a single website. - Acquire More Traffic
Some domains already receive traffic. This traffic principally comes from direct type-in or referral traffic. Direct type-in is when an internet user types the domain directly into their browser, such as typing 'www.pets.com.' Referral traffic typically comes from links on other websites. See our Search Engine Optimisation page. - As an Investment
Similar to real estate, domain names are investments. Domain values increase daily. You yourself can make your domain name more valuable by building and marketing your website.
