The process when you register uk domain name is similar when you register a company name. Once your uk domain is registered (and on condition that you continue to own the name), the uk domain name is yours and cannot be used by another person.

Finding a uk domain name that has not been used is not easy. You’ll be lucky if your prospective name is still available. If some other party has taken that name legitimately, you’ll have to stretch your creativity to come up with a prospective uk domain name that’s catchy but relates to your business.

You are allowed between 3 to 64 characters in your UK domain name, including numbers (but no punctuation except hyphens). Try having short names only because they are easier to recall. And, just as important, typing mistakes are less likely to occur. As you know, typing mistakes will lead users to other sites not yours.

UK domain names have to be cleared by the internet registry (a not-for profit organization tasked to allocate, administer and control available domain names) and then a certificate of registration is issued.

You may register as many relevant names as you want, to ensure that users find your site. When you register UK domain, make certain you submit a unique name that does not infringe on the vested rights of other entities. If you’re registering your corporate business name, that already enjoys some protection due to its incorporation.

You can only register uk domain name through a registration agent. That will cost you a fee, so try to shop for quotes from several uk domain registration agents. Make sure that the certificate of registration of the uk domain is issued in your name (not in the name of the registration agent) so that you actually own the rights over such domain.
