A domain is the signpost to your site ~ e.g. www.paulscorner.co.uk. You cannot host (store) a site
without a domain pointing to it.
You have access to the web and you've thought about registering your own domain and researching
Hosting so you can build your own web site. At the moment, you may be using low-key e-mail
addresses to send and receive mail but with 1&1, you can easily have an address that YOU want
to use.
The link below will take you to a widely recognised (and
very competitive) domain seller ~ the one
that I use for this site (recommendations do not come higher!)
Why register a domain?
Acting quickly to secure your domain means nobody else can register your family name, business
name or title - because it’s yours. You can send and receive e-mail using your unique name and if
you arrange hosting, the e-mail address will match your web site perfectly. There’s no need for e-
mails with awkward addresses or overlong URLs leading to advertising pop-up-riddled pages that
take far too long to load. With 1&1 you can have what you want – and your information is fully
protected in the fastest and most secure Data Centre in Europe.
