Domains that work for you

When you’re registering a domain name, there are a few simple things worth keeping in mind. Pick something people can remember and spell without thinking too hard, and choose an extension that fits your business — for most UK companies, a .co.uk is the obvious choice. It’s also a good idea to double-check that the name isn’t already tied to someone else’s brand. Once it’s yours, you can point it to your website, set up email, and manage any DNS changes you might need. Domains renew yearly, so just keep an eye on the date so you don’t accidentally lose it. And if you’re not sure about anything, we’re always happy to help.

What characters can be used in a domain name?

he maximum length of a full domain name (the entire thing, including dots) is 253 characters.

Each individual part — for example, “invictanet” in invictanet.com — can be up to 63 characters.

These limits have been the same for years and are part of the DNS rules.

Internet Service Providers in the UK will have a Nominet Tag where all the domain names that they host are registered under. To move your domain name, you need to find out the Tag of the new ISP and then either login to your control panel or ask your current ISP to re-tag the domain name to the new ISP’s tag. 

This shouldn’t take any longer than a few hours to complete.

Once the domain name has been re-tagged, the new ISP should enter their name servers and the move is then complete.

Login to your domain control panel or contact your ISP and ask them to un-lock your domain name and provide an ‘Auth-Code’. An ‘Auth-Code’ is an alpha-numeric code that you can then send to your new ISP.

Once received your new ISP can request the transfer. The releasing ISP will then contact the owner and admin contact for the domain to confirm whether or not this is a valid request. If the owner and/or admin contact confirms that the request is valid, the transfer will happen within hours. If the admin and owner do not respond to the transfer request, the transfer will take five days.
