Why a Great Domain Matters (and How to Choose One)

Your domain name is the foundation of your online identity — it’s how people find, remember, and trust your business. A clear, memorable name helps you stand out in search results and builds credibility from the start.

Choosing a UK-centric domain like .uk or .co.uk shows your business is local and trustworthy — perfect for reaching UK customers. Pair it with our high-performance hosting (Ryzen 9 CPUs, NVMe SSDs, 10 Gbps uplinks, and 24/7 UK support) for a seamless, professional online experience.

When selecting your name, keep it short, simple, and brandable — avoid hyphens or numbers unless essential. If your preferred name is taken, try adding your location or niche (e.g., HostX UK or HostXNow Hosting). Protect your brand by registering key variations (.co.uk, .uk, .com) and forward extra domains to your main site to capture all possible visitors effortlessly.

Domain Name FAQs

A domain name is your website’s address on the internet — like yourbusiness.co.uk. It makes it easy for visitors to find your site instead of using an IP address.

No. You can register a domain name with HostXNow now and connect it to hosting later. You’ll still have full DNS control.

Prices start from £9/year for .uk and .co.uk domains. Costs vary depending on the extension (TLD)
