Domain Names
Like any brand name, logo, or trademark, your domain name represents part of your business identity.
Whether you're after a .co.uk or something a bit more specific like a .eu.com suffix, we can help you track down the best domain name that's right for your requirements.
Domain Ordering
Check to see if the name you want is available.
If you have lots of names you want to check, want names with suffix from other parts of the world or want to order a domain, send us an email: Domains@PDS.
Choosing the RIGHT Name
There are many different extensions available right now. For UK businesses, we recommend a .com, .co.uk or .biz suffix. Ask us and we will research what is available for you - at no extra cost.
You really should register as soon as possible, or risk getting stuck with "the-domain-name-that-no-one-wanted.net". You do not have to have a Webmaster or an ecommerce department or a web design consultant... you don't even need a web page. Just get out there and register before you lose the opportunity to get the name you really want!
And remember, if you think that you have found the right domain name, but you're not quite sure if it's the one... register it anyway before someone else does!

Some Help with Domain Names
Although some domain names can be up to 63 characters, you have to keep in mind that people need to be able to remember it, and easily type it into their browser. Try to register the shortest name that your customers and visitors will associate with your Website.
Sometimes it is a good idea to register several similar domain names, particularly if you own a trademark for a certain name. If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.co.uk" so no one else takes it.
You can register your full company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. Some people even register common misspellings of their company's name.
You don't need a separate web page for each, several domains can point to the same website using domain name mappings.
Just a reminder: domain names can only use letters, numbers, and dashes. Spaces and symbols are not allowed. Also, domain names are not case sensitive.
