A domain name is effectively your address on the internet. For example, www.piccantewebdesign.com is our domain name.
One of the best marketing tools your business can have is a great domain name. A truly effective domain name should be memorable and whenever possible include your business name or nature. If you already have a domain name, Piccante can use this as the 'address' for the website we create.
The cost of the domain name depends on the suffix ( .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .co.nz etc) and who you purchase it through.
Need a domain name?If you don't have a domain name there are many websites that can provide this service for you.
Finding an available domain name that uses common words or phrases can be time-consuming. We advise that you use your imagination, think of alternative spelling or try using hyphens in the name. Using a .co address (with your country as the second part of the suffix) will often yield better results than trying to find a '.com' domain.
