Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a generic UK domain name?
A relevant generic domain name can be an invaluable business asset for your company. The internet is full of companies competing for business, generic domain names are generally easier for potential customers to remember, which would you remember - loans.co.uk or 123loans4u.co.uk?
Rather than using search engines, a growing number of surfers will type a generic domain name into the address bar of their browser in the hope that it takes them to a site related to whatever they are looking for, eg. someone looking for flowers may type in www.flowers.co.uk. This is known as Direct Navigation and can be a tremendous source of potential customers without advertising or other costs.
Consumers associate generic domain names with market leaders, for example, a car sales company trading under the domain name cars.co.uk would give the immediate impression that they are a credible company who are serious about their online business.
As well as helping to improve your business, generic domain names can be seen as a good investment. Prices steadily increase year on year and with more domains finding permanent homes prices look set to rise solidly in the future.
