do i need a domain name for my business

yes. if you have a website, you need a domain name. the domain name is the address of your website.

what a domain name is

yourbusiness.co.uk is a domain name. it is the address people type to find your website. it is also the address that appears in google search results.

without a domain name, your website has no fixed address. it cannot be found by name.

what a domain name costs

a .co.uk domain costs approximately £10 to £15 per year. a .com costs slightly more.

computer web registers your domain as part of the build. cost included in year one. renewal included in hosting from year two.

what happens if you do not have one

your business exists online without a fixed address. platforms like yell.com or facebook give you a presence, but at their address, not yours. facebook.com/yourbusiness is not the same as yourbusiness.co.uk.

you do not own a facebook page. you own a domain name.

what to choose

yourname.co.uk or yourbusinessname.co.uk. keep it short. keep it obvious. avoid hyphens.

if the .co.uk is taken, try .uk. avoid obscure extensions unless the name is important.

what computer web does

we suggest the domain. we register it in your name. we configure it for your website. you own it regardless of whether you continue with computer web.

domain included in the £179 build price. renewal included in year two hosting.
