Domain registration and hosting
Domain registration
Whether you’re starting out with a new business venture, or you wish to give your current online presence a refresh, registering your own domain should be one of the first things you do. Any business wishing to have a professional online image needs their own, dedicated domain. Consistency between your website address and email addresses is essential to ensure credibility. Using a free online webmail account for your business might have practical advantages, but it suggests that the business may not be around forever.
Luckily, registering your own domain is relatively easy and cheap. Four Lakes can help you by:
- Researching appropriate domain names
- Registering your chosen domain(s) on your behalf
- Configuring them appropriately (for instance, you may wish to register four domains and have all traffic from three of them directed to the fourth, primary domain)
Using us for this process will ensure that any other online services (email account setup, website, etc) can be carried out with the minimum of fuss. If you already have a domain registered elsewhere, we can help you transfer it with the minimum of fuss and disruption.
Website Hosting
Once your domain is in place, you will need somewhere to host your website. Four Lakes partners with a leaning UK-based hosting company to offer very competitive hosting as part of our website design packages.
