Domain Name Registration with Irish Web Headquarters

Your domain name is your web presence. Choosing the correct domain name is important. A short, memorable, easy to spell domain name is more likely to be visited by your target audience than one which is difficult for them to remember.

Choosing a short name or catchy phrase is like having a memorable phone number - It's always on the tip of your customers tongue. While many web surfers will use Google or another search engine to find content, your repeat business will soar if your customers can remember your domain name.

At Irish Web Headquarters we know domains. We will work with you to choose the most suitable name for your business, whether a catchy .com or .net domain for an international presence or a .ie domain to show your nationality, we will guide you in selecting the perfect choice for your company.

Promoting your domain is as important as the initial selection. There are many ways that you can promote your domain (and thus your website and product/service). The easiest is by listing your domain in all company publications and notices.

Your headed paper, tenders, invoices, receipts and letters should all contain your domain name.

Placing an ad in a newspaper or on TV or radio? Make sure you mention your domain name and watch your hit counter rise.

Emails sent by all company employees should contain a link to your website. Thousands of emails may be sent by your employees yearly - take advantage of this and promote your site.

Got a mailing list? Add your site address to promote new and repeat business.

Posting to an online discussion forum or bulletin board - List your domain. Be sure to read the conditions of posting on the discussion forum as some do not allow this.

Finally, remember that a good domain is pointless unless your website matches it both in content and design. Giving visitors to your site useful and updated content will ensure that they will be satisfied and return in the future.

Irish Web Headquarters offer domain name registrations at the following rates:


.com .net .org .biz .info €25 per annum
.eu €30 per annum
.ie €79 per annum

Business blogging

Creating a blog is an easy way to communicate. Irish Web Headquarters is a web design company using blogs to post details of products and services such as hosting domain name registration and e-learning. The advantage of blogging is the dynamic nature of the content once posted. People can subscribe to your blog and syndicate the content using Atom or Feedburner or another RSS feed reader.

Forget about copy & paste, just syndicate and all new blog content will be displayed on your site.

Blogging can also have many business applications. Notifying clients of new product updates, keeping in touch with market news and information/reviews of products are ways in which blogs may be used for business purposes.
