Register your name before someone else does

A domain name is a small thing that makes a big difference. It puts your company name on your website and on every email you send, and it tells customers you're an established business rather than someone working from a free mailbox.

Tell us the name you want and we'll check whether it's available, register it in your name and keep on top of the renewals so it never lapses by accident. Prices vary by ending - see our domain FAQs for a full breakdown.

Not sure if your name is taken? Give us a call on 03333 055 055 and we'll check it for you while you're on the phone - our team registers domains for businesses across the UK.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is simply the destination that someone types into their web browser, such as alcom-it.co.uk or google.co.uk.

It's the address of your website, and it's usually the part of your email address that comes after the @ symbol too. Once it's registered to you, nobody else can use it.

It's also one of the quickest ways to look established. A name on your own domain, rather than a free email address or someone else's platform, tells customers they're dealing with a real, permanent business - and that matters before they've spoken to you at all.

Tips for choosing a domain name

You'll be living with this one for a long time, so it's worth a couple of minutes' thought before you register it.

01

Keep It Simple

People need to remember it, so don't make it harder for them. Short and easy to say out loud beats clever every time.

02

Keep It Relevant

Don't overthink it. Your company name will work fine - it's what customers will look for when they go searching for you.

03

Keep It Free of Spelling Errors

This goes without saying, but make sure you double-check it. A typo in a domain name follows you around on every business card you print.

Domain name options

Straightforward pricing with renewals managed for you. Less common endings are priced individually - we'll confirm the exact figure before you commit.

From an idea to a live address

Registering a domain is quick, and we handle the whole thing for you. Send us the name you have in mind and we'll take it from there.

If you'd like somewhere to put the website afterwards, or business email set up on your new name, just say - we can sort both at the same time.

01

Tell Us Your Name

Complete the form or call us with the name you'd like. Bring a second choice along in case the first one has gone.

02

We Check Availability

We'll see what's free, look at which endings suit you best and come back with a price.

03

We Register It

The domain is registered in your name, so it stays yours - not ours - whatever happens down the line.

04

We Keep It Renewed

We keep an eye on the expiry date and remind you well before it's due, so your address never quietly disappears.

Domain name questions

The things customers ask us most before registering a name.

How much does a domain name cost?
It depends on the ending, with less common endings priced individually. We'll always confirm the exact price for the name and ending you want before you commit to anything.
What's the difference between .co.uk, .com and .uk?
.co.uk signals a UK business and is the most recognised choice for British customers. .com is the global default, useful if you sell overseas or want the widest recognition. .uk is a newer, shorter alternative to .co.uk. Most UK businesses register more than one ending and point them all at the same site.
Can you transfer a domain I already own to you?
Yes. If you've already got a domain registered elsewhere, we can take over the management and renewals for you. Just let us know when you enquire - it's one of the options on our quote form below.
What happens if I forget to renew?
If a domain lapses it can go back on general sale, and someone else - including a squatter hoping to sell it back to you - could register it. That's why we track the renewal date for every domain we manage and get in touch well ahead of time, so it's never left to chance.
Do I own the domain, or does Alcom IT?
You do. Every domain we register is registered in your name, using your details as the account holder. We manage the day-to-day admin and renewals, but the domain is yours - not ours - and stays yours whatever happens down the line.
