Check a Domain Name:

Your own Domain

Your domain name controls everything, so that viewers can see your website and you can send and receive e-mail. It acts as part of a world wide directory pointing interested parties to your location on the particular server where your services are based.

A company domain (www.yourname.co.uk or .com) is essential as it offers a number of marketing advantages and a more prestigious web presence as well as your dedicated company e-mail. Names are currently going very quickly and you need to register as soon as possible to ensure availability of your preferred choices. Registration charges are for two years, after which they have to be renewed. Different registration authorities make different charges as do organization's offering this service, and they may form part of a special offer etc.

There are two main registration bodies with which you should be familiar: Internic, the .com international registration authority and Nominet for the uk, (co.uk). Other suffixes are available (.net, .org etc.) but are not applicable to the majority of companies operating on a normal commercial basis. Whilst it is possible to register a name directly with these organization's, in practice certain technical information required (server details, technical admin contacts etc) usually means registering through a third party who has these facilities, or access to these facilities.

Once you register a suitable name and it is confirmed, you will have established a location for your domain. This may or may not be the final location for your proposed website.

The MCL registration offers assume that, at some stage, you will utilize our web hosting facility. If you do not, and wish to transfer a registration without upgrading, a small transfer charge of £16.00 will be payable for administrative costs. (Please see Transfers).

MCL registration charges are amongst the lowest currently on offer.
