What is Web & Email Forwarding

Web and mail forwarding enables you to make use of your existing web space or email account, these are most often provided freely as part of your internet access package (e.g. Freeserve). Most often this takes the form of www.yourname.ISPname.co.uk we can forward traffic from your new domain such as www.newname.co.uk transparently to the web users, so that anybody using your new web address would be forwarded to your existing web site.

This is again achieved for your existing email account so you can start using your new email such as new@newname.co.uk without having to change your existing account or ISP.

For more information see our silver package description.

What if my First Choice is Unavailable

If the name you want is unavailable you are faced with a number of alternatives. Domain names are issued on a first come first served basis, so the easiest option is to simply choose another domain name.

You could try one of the alternative top or second level domain names (you can ask our multi domain search to check against these options)or slightly change the grammar of the domain name you require (a good tip is try the same name but with either a hyphen(-) or a number included.

If you are not happy with a variant of your domain name and believe that you hold a legal right to the name already registered (most commonly due to Trademark), you can pursue ownership of the desired name through legal means by following the appropriate dispute procedures. The naming authority to contact for disputes relating to .co.uk is Nominet.
