Which domain extension should I choose?
Best for UK businesses
The most recognised domain for UK companies. Signals local credibility to customers and helps with UK Google rankings. If you're a UK-based business, this should be your first choice.
Global standard
The world's most recognised domain extension. If your business serves international customers or you plan to expand, securing .com alongside .co.uk is worth the small extra cost.
Short UK alternative
A shorter version of .co.uk, introduced in 2014. Some UK businesses prefer it for brevity, but .co.uk remains more trusted and recognised by UK consumers.
Tech & networks
Originally intended for internet infrastructure companies. Used today by technology businesses, SaaS products, and networking companies.
Charities & organisations
Traditional home for non-profit organisations, charities, and community groups. Carries a sense of trust and public benefit.
Domain name FAQs
What is a domain name?
A domain name is your website's address on the internet — for example, baulin.co.uk. It's how customers find you online and forms the basis of your professional email address (e.g. hello@yourbusiness.co.uk).
Should I choose .co.uk or .com for my UK business?
.co.uk is the most trusted extension for UK-based businesses. It signals to Google and customers that you're a local UK company, which can improve your local search rankings. If you're planning to expand internationally, securing both .co.uk and .com is ideal.
What does 'taken' mean?
It means someone else has already registered that domain. You can either try a variation (different spelling, adding a word), choose a different TLD, or contact the current owner about purchasing it.
How do I register my domain?
If you become a Baulin Technologies client, we handle domain registration as part of your plan. We'll secure your preferred domain, set up professional email, and get your site live — all included.
How long does a domain registration last?
Domains are typically registered for 1 to 10 years. As a Baulin client, we manage your renewal automatically so you never accidentally lose your domain.
