A Domain name is your website address. www.yourname.com. Display this in
adverts, brochures, business cards in fact anywhere you possibly can. The
more people who know you have a website the more visitors you are likely to
attract. This address is telling the world where your website resides.

Your Domain Name
There are limitations when
selecting a Domain name, you can use all letters and numbers but, you are prevented from
using many other characters such as &,$,* etc. You can however use the
hyphen "-" symbol.
If your company consists of two or more names then
a hyphen - can be used to separate these or you could simply have one long name.
If for some reason your chosen name may not be
available, it may be a good idea to have a number of alternative name choices to
hand.
Take time when considering your name, as this will
be promoted in conjunction with your usual advertising, also your email address will
contain your Domain Name.
