  Domain Name Guide:

The difference between domain extensions:-

All domain names are accessible from anywhere in the world, there is no performance difference.

One of the main difference is in that .com's are perceived as being international and .co.uk's are seen as being UK based. Therefore if your company has an international market a .com domain would be a good choice whereas, .co.uk is ideal for companies primarily focused upon the UK.

.co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk, domains are registered with Nominet, the UK Internet names organisation, and will be registered on your behalf on the understanding that you have read and accept their terms and conditions.

.ltd.uk and .plc.uk domains can only be registered by the limited company or plc who's name correspond with that company.

.com. net and .org domains can be registered for between 1 and 10 years,

.biz, .info domains must be registered for between 2 and 10 years.

With total registrations in the .uk database as of 30th September 2004:
Over 3,6 Million it can be hard to find the domain you want, with many of the best domain allready registerd. There are several options you can use to get around this problem.

1. You can insert a - in between your name e.g if your company was called abc supplies and the domain abcsupplies.co.uk is taken you could try
abc-supplies.co.uk

2. Another popluar method is to try one of the new domain sufixes such as abcsupplies.gb.com or if you were targeting Europe you may try abcsupplies.eu.com
