A philosopher once said - ‘what’s in a name’; but when choosing the correct domain name for your business, this could be the key to your success. In this modern digital world. the "WWW" or the "World Wide Web" as we now know it, has uncountable websites and they are increasing rapidly on a day by day basis. So, if you want to help your business to the top of the search engines, you may need to be a little more selective about your business’ domain name than you had originaly thought.
Here are 5 tips you may want bear in mind:
1. It has to be short and related to your business niche - make sure you choose the closest available domain name possible.
2. Additionally, the name needs to be catchy and memorable if possible, or people won’t be able to remember it.
3. Choose the correct extension for your domain name for maximum efficiency. Example:
If you plan on starting up a car repair business, then your domain name could be carrepair.co.uk, make sure you steer away from domain-names like friendlyrepairman.org as such names can be harder to identify.
4. Furthermore, you should try to to use a related keyword in the domain name for better SEO results. Just like in the previous example: ‘car repair’ could then also become your seed keyword for the website, this will assist your online marketing for your website too and help you get found on the search engines.
5. Try to avoid hyphens or numbers in your domain, thats because they can often be misunderstood by the user or your viewer. Going back to our example, you would not want a name like www.car-repair123.com unless you have the additonal branding and marketing budget to invest in marketing it.
Significantly, choosing a domain name is like creating a brand or logo for your business. It needs to feel right. Research it, try several domain name providers, compare pricing then you may find the best domain-name first time round. You need to research and purchase the right domain name before anyone else steals it away from you, otherwise you may end up having to buy it back from an online broker and that could prove to be an expensive excercise.
Finally, when you have the right domain-name in your basket, don't waste time thinking about it as this may result in someone else securing it before you do. Buy it and let the journey begin. Remember even the longest journey always starts with the first step.

SEO Flatrate Welcome The Bespoke Shed Company to Rent A Website Services
In July of 2018 The Bespoke Shed Company was founded by a Salisbury based handyman with a true passion for woodwork and the outdoors. We quickly realised that this startup business was grown out of a love for design.and working with natuaral products. When we were approached Poole based "SEO Flatrate with his request to host and Design a brand new Website..At the top of the list of priorities was to get found online Andrew wanted a brand new website he was looking for a personal touch and needed advice on websites and hosting. After the initial consultation it was decided that our all inclusive Pro Rent A Website Service was the right choice as it offered all of the above without the need for contracts or minimum term agreements.
This is what Andrew from The Bespoke Shed Company had to say.
" Back In January of 2018 I decided to make it my lifetime project to use my acquired skills and knowledge to assist and facilitate my interest in outdoor spaces as often as humanly possible, by conicidence I started working alongside a professional shed building company constructing factory built sheds and out buildings. It did not take long for me to recognise a gap in the market for those who required sheds very specific to suit their needs. I found it strange that they were unable to find what they are looking for no matter how hard they tried. I have always had some design and realisation project on the go, I am a self-taught Carpenter so I thought I would take on my own clients and build something wonderful, something bespoke and so Bespoke Sheds was born simply out of the demand for something that was not available and a personal desire to create it myself.The most significant lesson I have learnt working in the industry is the importance for any business to fully understand the customers desires, needs and requirements. I truly believe I have a natural ablity to understand and create something special, something truly unique, let's just call it bespoke."
