Domain Names
Register your domain names here and bring your domain to life with personalised email addresses and your own website!
A domain name is the address that people use to find you or your company on the web. Put simply, it’s what you type in the browser’s address bar to go to a specific website.
For example, our domain name is: http://www.eclipsehosts.co (in today’s browsers, it’s not necessary to type the symbols http://). You can get as many domain names as you want if you are planning to run several websites or blogs.
What can I do with my domain name?
With your domain name you can set up a website but you can also use it for a lot of other things, such as:
* Send mail – use your email address as a webmail account or forward emails to another address.
* Start blogging – publish photos, ideas and thoughts on your own personalised blog.
* Publish a webpage instantly – create your free homepage or get a unique website up and running in minutes using our fantastic, easy to use InstantSite builder tool.
* Park it – maybe you haven’t decided what to do with your new domain name. Don’t worry, there’s no rush. You can leave it parked with us for the time of your registration.
* Tell the world – share your new online identity with everyone you know.
What is a domain extension?
A domain extension describes the ending of a domain name, these can also be referred to as the tld (top level domain), suffix, or domain root.
.com, .net, .org, & .co.uk are all examples of domain extensions.
It is common for websites to register the same domain name with multiple domain extensions; increasing the likelihood of a visitor finding the way to your site, and protecting your brand.
