Domain Name Explanations

Domain Names are the Internet equivalent of your postal address and choosing the right sort of addresses is important as it can reflect greatly on your business. The following types of Domain Name are the most available:

www.com.hk
www.net.hk
www.org.hk

Hong Kong Domain Name (By Hong Kong hknic.)

www.com

Although .com originally meant commercial, it now very much implies commerce and the .com address is the one most businesses want to have. Nearly 4 million .com domains are now in existence.

www.co.uk

The .co.uk domain is ideal for any UK based company, be it a large corporation or a home run concern. These are also good for businesses which want to stress their UK links, tourism related companies are a prime example.

www.org

Originally intended for charities and non-profit organisations, .org Domain Names are available to anyone.

www.org.uk

The UK variant of .org addresses.

www.net

In the early days of Domain Names, these were the most sought after by "techies" as there were many restrictions on who could have them. A good alternative if the .com you wanted is already taken and perfect for Internet companies.

www.uk.com

Is the .com address you want already registered? The .uk.com equivalent may still be available. You still get the prestige of a .com address but with UK links.

www.gb.net, eu.com

Another alternative domain extension if the .com you are looking for is already taken. Also good as many generic Domain Names are still available.
