Domain registrations

We’ve been registering domains for our clients since we started trading, way back in 1992. Back then getting the name you wanted for your business wasn’t difficult. Move forward to today and billions of domains have been registered, the vast majority of which are never used. That makes it difficult for businesses to get a name that conveys what they’re about and who they are.

We are a fully accredited registrar with Nominet, the .UK registry. We also have access to register domain names under all publicly accessible TLDs (Top Level Domains) such as .com, .net, .org, .info etc. and the hundreds of gTLDs (generic Top Level Domains).

By working with us we can advise and help you to find the best possible fit for your business or product. Often the names you think of first are nothing like the names that you end up using, but it’s not normally the best option to pick some obscure gTLD just so you can have the brand name you would like. This is especially true for start-ups, where they haven’t yet established their brand identity and cost is a significant factor. Often you need to find a small overlap between domain names that are available, company names that are available and established trademarks you need to avoid. We have decades of experience and expertise in this field with a great track record of finding the sweet spots.

DNS hosting services

Once you have a domain name registered it needs a home. Here at virtco® we run and maintain a fully redundant configuration of DNS servers. Hosted deliberately on separate continents to deliver fast service where it’s needed as well as provide high availability to domain name resolution at all times.
