Domain Registration Services
Without a domain, commonly referred to as a website address
(the part of a website address that comes directly after www is your unique
domain name - no one else will have that domain name), your website would not
have the means by which to allow people to access its content.
Of all the 'running
costs' of a commercial website, the registration of the domain name is the
lowest of them all, and one of the most vital. Choosing the correct domain name
is vital in conveying your image and identity; why do you think ours is
churchwebsitedesign.org.uk? We provide church website design services and we are
a Christian support organisation based in the UK. Most, if not all, churches in
the UK opt for registering .org.uk domain extensions, but .co.uk or even .com
sites are also available.
You cannot use spaces in domain names. In order to indicate a space, a dash
or hyphen is used. For example, The Church Website Design Project also has the
following domain registered that redirects the user to the main page of this
website, but in this instance it uses dashes to make the words of the domain
name clearer:
www.church-website-design.org.uk
There are advantages for and against using hyphens. It can make a website
address stand out more to the reader, but remembering exactly where
the dashes go can sometimes cause confusion when the reader tries to recall the
website address. However, it can also help search engines such as Google to
index your domain, especially when someone searches for 'church website design'
in the search box. In this case, we have opted to register both versions of the
domain, which can be very useful.
If you would like to find if your choice of domain name is currently in use,
or to explore alternatives, please use the link below. There is no need to
continue through with a purchase at this stage as we can offer preferential
rates for church websites below that offered commercially by our parent company,
Cortina Web Solutions. If you find the domain name you like, please let us know
and we can secure its registration for you.
