What is a domain name?
A domain name is your unique address on the Internet. The domain name functions as an alias for the numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned by your host provider. Since people remember names better than numbers, domain name helps visitors find your web site simply by entering the web name (e.g. www.yourcompany.com) instead of hard-to-remember IP address.

Why should I buy a domain name?
Whether you are a business or an individual, there are several important reasons for buying a domain name. These reasons include:
  • Exposure: Your domain name means that anyone in the world can find information about you, your products or your services 24 hours a day.
  • Protection: Securing a domain name protects your name, your company name or your product name(s) on the Internet.
  • Profitability: Domain names help to establish the Internet's"points of contact". This is where online buyers, suppliers and partners conduct electronic commerce (e-commerce). If you have anything to communicate, "say" or sell, or if you just want to be more accessible, then securing your unique domain name is a smart move.
 
How can I find out if a domain name is available?
To search for a domain name, simply send us an email with the name that you would like to secure and we advise you to have alternatives just in case your first option is not available. Within seconds we will tell you if your selection is available! Keep in mind that your name is not registered until your payment has been processed, and there is no obligation to buy.

How do I choose the best domain name?
Generally, the best names are those that are easy to remember, easy to type, and easy to spell. Short names are usually preferable to long names. For instance, the domain name "joespizza.com" is easier to remember than "joespizzastoreonfifth.com", even though the longer name is more descriptive. A good domain name will convey a unique sense of what your web site offers.

What are the guidelines for a domain name?
Your domain name may include any letters in the English alphabet, any numbers, the dash (-) and the underscore* (_). No spaces or other characters are allowed. Domain names must be less than 64 characters in length (including the extension portion), and must begin and end with a letter or a number.

We also offer the following helpful hints: Be careful using a zero, as it may get confused with the letter "O". To separate words, use the dash (-). Spaces are not allowed. Domain names are not case sensitive; most users enter in all lower-case letters. Try to select a domain name that is a maximum of 15 characters.

*Note: The underscore (_) is not allowed in (web.com) sub-domains. You can purchase sub domains to expand your visibility on the internet. For example if you buy yourcompany.com as your domain name, you can also purchase yourcompany.net or .org etc as your sub domains and any time your visitors type in any of the above names they will be directed to your web site.

What if I misspell my domain name?
Unfortunately, once a domain name has been registered, it cannot be changed. Please type your domain name carefully when placing an order! You will be given a chance to review your information before your order is submitted.

Can I choose any domain name?

Good question. In theory, you can register any domain name that is available. In practice, however, there are some restrictions. Our policy states that you cannot register a name which you know to be the registered trademark, service mark, or copyrighted property of another (i.e. cocacola.web.com). In doing so, you are vilolating P & O Website Designing and Internet Solutions Terms of Service, and may also violate the copyright or patent laws of the United States, Uganda and other countries.

We register all popular TLD Names including the following extensions:
.com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .co.ug, .or.ug, .co.uk, .org.uk, .net.uk For domain name registration, please contact us via email to check the availability of your choice.
