A domain name is the unique address of a Web site on the Internet. It acts as a recognizable and easy-to-remember name that users can enter into their Web browser or to access a specific Web site. A domain name can additionally be used for e-mail. A domain name consists of a name and an extension, such as "example.co.uk" or "company.com," for example.

When you order a domain name, it is registered immediately. The domain name can then no longer be requested by anyone else. Depending on the domain extension, it can take several hours to sometimes 24-48 hours before the new domain name is active on the entire Internet. Until then, not everyone on the Internet may be able to access your new domain name.

Certain domain extensions have reserved short and generic words, and sell these domain names for an additional fee. This surcharge may be a one-time fee (you then pay an additional amount for the first year only), or it may be annual. These domain names are marked as "premium" on our website. If you are interested in registering a premium domain name, please contact us to inquire about the terms and costs.

Most domain extensions are registered for one year, but you have the option of locking a domain name for a longer period with certain extensions. After this period, a domain name is automatically renewed unless you cancel or discontinue the domain name. After cancellation, the domain name becomes available for registration again after a few days, and someone else can re-register the domain name.

A good domain name meets a number of characteristics:

• It's short: avoid using long domain names; between one and three words is an ideal length.
• It's simple: don't use difficult or hard-to-spell words.
• It contains what you want to be found on: consider using words in your domain name that tell what products or services you offer;
• It does not contain numbers and dashes: numbers and dashes are often difficult to remember and communicate.
• It includes your brand or company name: use a domain name that includes your brand or company name for maximum recognition.
