Domain Registration Service

"What is a Domain?"

Imagine the internet is a filing room. Inside the filing room are lots of filing cabinets (Internet Service Providers - ISPs). Each drawer of each filing cabinet represents a domain. A domain name is the label on the drawer that contains your website and email.

Each domain name is unique. Once you have selected your domain name, it needs to be checked for availability, purchased and registered. (Registrations usually last two years and will need to be renewed)

A domain is basically an address, for instance the domain for this website is www.lobsterventures.co.uk, everything relating to this site is stored within this domain.

The long and the short of it is, if you want to display content on the internet you need an address. This can be your own or a part of someone elses.

Choosing the right domain can be daunting and there are many things that need to be considered. Lobster Ventures provide domain search and registration services to help you through the process. If you would like to find out more about these services contact us today.

Once a domain has been registered it needs to be hosted on the internet

What about email?

A domain is a prerequisite to having business related email (email that conforms with your business image) i.e greg@lobsterventures.co.uk as opposed to lobsterventures@hotmail.com or something similar.

You can create several email addresses within your domain to direct mail to the correct person or department.

sales@Lobsterventures.co.uk
accounts@Lobsterventures.co.uk
fred@Lobsterventures.co.uk
info@Lobsterventures.co.uk

The list is endless

If you simply want the domain for a more formal email address (as above), this can be arranged very cost effectively and we can assist in the setting up of the email for you if required
