Why Premium Domains?

Here are some questions you might have about buying a premium UK domain name... and our answers!

Why buy a Premium Domain?

For many reasons. The main two are:

  1. to build a brand around a short, memorable domain name
  2. to gain an advantage in the natural search engine results?

Can't I buy an unregistered domain for almost nothing?

Absolutely! Unregistered domains cost as little as £6 for 2 years... plus hours or days of your time researching and brainstorming to get a good one!

Plus, the vast majority of good domains have gone! It's very hard to find quality domain names - and it's getting harder.

How does a Brandable Domain help my business?

A brandable domain name is short, memorable, easy to spell, and UK-focused. For example, our premium domain Wiry.co.uk could be used as a great brand name within a number of industries. A keep-fit website? An energy/power company? An ecommerce company specialising in craft wire?

How does a Searchable Domain help my business?

Simply put, you will get more traffic!

It will help your SEO (natural Search Engine Optimisation) efforts. This applies to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. You are more likely to appear higher in the search results for your chosen keywords, and your listing will be clicked on more often (as the URL displayed is highly relevant).

Plus, your PPC (Pay Per Click) campaigns, such as Google Adwords, will gain a higher Click Rate. Again, this is because the URL displayed in the ad is highly relevant to the search term.

What are the best domain endings to use? Any to avoid?

It depends on what you want to do with the domain. I'm assuming you are UK focussed, and you want to use the site with a real-world business. In order of preference, best first:

  1. .co.uk
  2. .com
  3. .org.uk
  4. .net
  5. .org

And there are some that we recommend you avoid!

  • .uk.com
  • .gb.com
  • .co
  • .me.uk (except to make sure nobody else gets it!)
  • .info
  • .biz

Is buying a Premium Domain a long process?

Not at all - you could receive your domain name in a matter of days.
