Internetology - Domain Name FAQ

I cannot find the domain I want - can you help me find one?

Of course - although many domain names have already been registered there are still many options left!

Here are some hints that should help - to check any of these use our online Domain Name Search.

Domain names can now be longer - up to 63 characters.
If the .com or .co.uk domain names have gone consider the .net, .org or .org.uk domains - there are no restrictions - anyone may register these as well!
If you are a UK Ltd. or Plc. company you can register a .ltd.uk or .plc.uk domain name.
You can seperate characters in a domain name with hyphens - if you wanted "domainname.com" - perhaps "domain-name.com" is available?
Register a "generic" name - if "your-company-name.com" or "your-company-name.co.uk" have been registered you can always register a name that describes your products and services or perhaps the area you live / work in?
Try using a thesaurus to find similar names - for instance if you wanted a domain with the word "shop" but it had gone then options may include "store", "mall", "market" or "mart".
Words like "for", "to" or "you" can be changed for characters like "4", "2" or "u" - so if "foodforthought.com" had gone - maybe "food4thought.com" is available?
You can also prefix or suffix domains with other words - just because your-name.com has been registered perhaps yournameuk.com, yourname-uk.com or yournameonline.com would be suitable?
