Is the name free?
Type your business name and see it against the endings a UK business actually uses, from .co.uk to .com.
How it works
Every domain ending has a registry, and every registry keeps a public record of the names it holds. We ask those registries directly, in the moment, and tell you what they said in plain English. Nothing you type is stored, and nobody is emailed.
When does yours expire?
Type a domain you already have and see who it is registered with, when it runs out, and whether it is locked against being moved.
Registered in your name, always
When we build your website we register the domain in your name and handle the renewals, so it is yours whatever happens.
Common questions
How do I check if a domain name is available?
Type the name into the box above. We ask the registries directly and show which endings are free. "Looks available" means the registry has no record of the name; a few names are reserved or priced as premium, so the final word comes when it is registered.
When does my domain name expire?
Type your full domain, ending and all, and we read its public registry record: who it is registered with, when it was registered and when it runs out. Put the date in your diary, and check that the renewal reminders go to an inbox someone reads.
What happens if my domain expires?
The website and any email on it stop working, usually the same day. Most registries allow a grace period of a few weeks to renew it, sometimes at a higher price, and then the name is released for anyone to register. Renewing early costs nothing extra.
Should my domain be registered in my name?
Yes, always. If an agency or a friend registered it in their name, they own it, not you. Ask them to transfer it, or at least to put your details on it. Everything we register goes in the client's name from day one.
Which ending should I choose?
For a business trading in the UK, .co.uk is still the one people expect and type. .uk is shorter and worth taking alongside it. .com matters if you sell abroad or want to stop someone else having it. Most businesses take two or three and point them all at one site.
Do you sell domain names?
Not on their own. We register and look after domains for the businesses whose websites we build and host, in their name, with the renewals handled for them. If you only want a domain, any good registrar will sell you one.

The address your customers remember
A good domain name is short, easy to spell and obviously yours. Once you have it, it needs looking after: renewed on time, pointed at the right places and protected from anyone who might try to take it.
We register domains in your name, manage the DNS for your website and email, and make sure renewals never slip.
Questions
Common questions
Anything else? Ask us, we reply within one working day.
Is the domain really mine?
Yes. It is registered in your name or your company's, and you can move it elsewhere at any time.
Can you transfer my domain from another provider?
Yes. For most endings you will need the transfer code from your current provider; we take care of the rest. .uk domains move with a simple tag change.
Which ending should I choose?
For a UK business, .co.uk is the most recognised. Many businesses also register the .com and .uk to protect their name, and point them all at one website.
