Domain Names

A domain name provides the internet equavalent of an address that web users can use in order to visit your site.

When purchasing a domain name it is usual to use your company name - e.g. www.openimage.co.uk or the service you provide www.graphicdesignmidlands.co.uk if available.

Open Image recommend purchasing a domain name (e.g. www.yourcompanyname.co.uk) for a number of reasons:

1. Easier to remember
2. Looks professional
3. Portability
4. Easier to manage emails

Registering a domain
Open Image provide a domain name registration service. We will find an available domain that suits your company and register the domain on your behalf. If you already own a domain name this is also fine. When building a website we can use the existing domain or transfer it to us (for ease of management). Please note that for existing domains there may be administration fees chargeable for management or transfer.

Please contact Open Image for details on domain name registration.
