  • How to register your domain, then keep it from ever being hijacked

What’s in the guide?

A domain name is more than a web address. It's often the first thing a customer sees, and the last thing standing between a phishing email and your entire online presence. This guide walks you through what makes a domain name work, which extension fits your business, and the small number of things worth checking before you register.

What you'll learn:

  • What a domain name actually does for your business, beyond pointing to a website
  • Which extension fits you, and why .co.uk, .com, .ai and others each suit different businesses
  • Six checks worth running before you commit to a name
  • How to register your domain, then protect it with tools like Domain Guard and a free wildcard SSL certificate
