domain name registration

domain name registration

Want a website, but not sure how to go about it? Your first step would be domain name registration - that's registering the name of your site (the www.mycompany.com bit). Domain names aren't just for websites though; they are also used in the second half of email addresses - sales@mycompany.com, for example. Although domain names are predominately used for websites and email addresses, they can also be used to provide a more memorable name for remote access, such as www.myoffice.com

If you're not sure where to go or how to go about it, let us take the strain. We can find suitable available names for you, and when you've decided on a domain name, we can register it officially for you with the appropriate authorities.

All domain names are leased rather than purchased, and the majority cost under £10 per year. When combined with our website hosting or website packages, mamu can offer a simple, all-in-one solution to getting you and your company up and running in cyberspace.
