Relax and take your time over this first decision - don’t rush, it might be the first of many decisions, but it is also one of the most important. You can change it in the future, but you won’t want to, not when you have spent time, money and effort bringing whatever you have chosen to prominence.

What is a domain name?

First things first, your domain name is what people typr in to find you on the net.  It is the bit that follows www. So the domain name here is concepttshirts.co.uk.
So what to choose as a domain name?

The whole business name does not need to go in the domain name. There is no need to have limited, ltd or anything extraneous in the domain name. This what people type in - you want to keep it as short or memorable as possible.  Does the customer care if you are ltd or not? Think from their point of view.

Of course most simple names have long been bought, so you need to be inventive. Remember too that the domain name is the first thing that search engines see of your site.  If widgets are in the name they will assume you sell widgets. This works for and against you - If you chose an obscure domain name you are handicapping yourself from the start in the search engines.  But this can be fought against, and if you have a more generic name it is harder to be unique.

Where should I buy a domain name?

In the UK one of the places that we have used for domain names is 123-reg . if you chose to buy somewhere else make sure that you have full DNS control. The price should be around £8 for two years.

You can easily type in your name and see if it is available on the 123 sire or any of the other sites that sell domain names
