Choose a domain name

Tips for choosing a domain name

• Your domain name (web address) can be between 3 and 67 characters long.
• Domain names are not case sensitive.
• Hyphens can help make a domain easier to read i.e. www.fasthosts-reviews.co.uk
• Should your preferred domain name be already taken, our domain name search tool will provide you with a choice of great alternatives.
• It's a good idea to register similar domains. For example, if you've already registered a .CO.UK you should also consider registering your domain as a .COM. Take a look at other domain extensions and their prices.
• You could register the same domain but include common spelling mistakes and typing errors to capture as large an audience as possible.
• With Fasthosts, you can make savings on your web hosting costs by forwarding several domain names to the same website.
• With the onset of social media applications and services such as Twitter and Facebook its generally a good idea to make sure you secure usernames which match or closely match your domain name.
