.CO.UK Domain Multi-Year Offer

Before you choose your domain name, you need to consider the requirements of your business. Remember that the full name must be easily readable and understandable to your visitors, to ensure that they feel safe and your business appears trustworthy.

Domain name registries are organisations that manage a large number of domains. In the UK, the organisation responsible for administering .uk TLDs is Nominet UK. Similarly, the organisation that manages generic .com domains is Verisign. When you reserve a domain with OVHcloud, its name is linked to the data stored in one of the databases belonging to the registry concerned.
Registries are responsible for overseeing the distribution of domain names. If you would like to transfer yours from one hosting provider to another, the registry will facilitate the transfer, without forcing you to choose a different name. Each registry operates according to its own rules. Some are non-profit companies, like Nominet UK, while others are for-profit, like Verisign. In all cases, registries hold the administrative data associated with the domains they manage. To do this, they create a zone file that contains the addresses of the server names. Above this organisation is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. This is the regulatory authority under Californian law that governs domain name registries.

OVHcloud is a registrar, for example. As an accredited service provider, OVHcloud can create your web addresses or domain names with various extensions and act as an intermediary between you and the registry when registering domain names. Our role is to carry out all the necessary procedures for domain name services: creation, renewal, transfer, owner change, and deletion. In addition to managing your domain names, OVHcloud can offer other services, including a custom email address service, web hosting for your website or blog, and more. All of these essential services can be linked to your domain name.

A premium domain name is a short, optimised and generic name. It is easy to remember, and ranks highly on search engines. For these reasons, higher prices are applied to premium domain names. This is to differentiate them from less generic names. The advantage of a premium domain name lies in its high marketing value. Premium domain names are what generic keywords are to search engines: a powerful asset that, due to their generality or their association, increases your website’s visibility to web users.
