Domain Names
If you have opted for either our Classic or Premier Package, we will register your new website with an address of www.discoverglobalbookings.com/yourpropertynamehere . You then need to let us know your preferred email address prefix so that we can set this up for you – yourchoice@discoverglobalbookings.com
If you would prefer to have your own completely unique website address, we would be delighted to help you to achieve this.
Points that you may wish to consider when settling on a domain name:
- Domain names can be any length between 3 and 67 characters.
- Domain names are not case sensitive.
- Use hyphens to make domain names easier to read, for example, www.my-great-domain.co.uk
- If your preferred domain name has already been registered, we will provide you with some great alternatives for you to consider.
- We would recommend registering similar domains. For example, if you've already registered www.mygreatdomain.co.uk you could also register www.mygreatdomain.com and www.mygreatdomain.eu to ensure that no one else takes them.
- You could also consider registering domain names with common spelling errors or typos to capture as large an audience as possible.
- You don't need a separate website for each domain name that you register – we are able to point multiple addresses to the same website.
How do I Choose a Domain Extension?
- .co.uk is ideal for UK websites & email addresses.
- .com is ideal for all international sites & email addresses.
- .eu is one of the newer domain extension options and often availability of these is better. Anyone operating out of Europe is able to opt for a .eu address.
- .net is often selected by companies who have multiple brands linked from one website. It is also used where .com is unavailable.
- .info and .biz are often used as an alternative to .com, especially for business addresses.
- .tv is used by television companies, programmes and brands.
- .mobi has been specifically designed for the delivery of web content and services to mobile devices.
- .org is mainly used by not-for-profit organisations.

Certain domain names are referred to as premium domain names. These are more valuable than typical domain names because they are based on common words and phrases that Web surfers frequently use when searching for websites – examples would be things such as tickets, hotels, online, accommodation. Costs vary for this type of domain name, but we would be delighted to look into securing one for you.
