Designing your first web site

Choose your Domain Name

Most web hosting space (including Sipero hosting packages) come with a free sub-domain name. This will look something like http://youraccount.siperoonline.co.uk and this is perfectly fine for connecting to and viewing your web site. But of course, it's not as sexy as having your own domain name.

If you want to appear more professional, and select a personalised name for your site (such as www.yourdomain.com) , you'll first have to check whether the name of your dreams is available. You can check domain name availability in our domain registration section.

But have a list of alternative name choices handy--chances are your favorite is already taken. Basic registration for a domain name costs as little as £4 a year.
