When it comes to building your brand online, securing your domain name is a brilliant first step. But did you know that registering multiple domain extensions can help protect your brand and boost your visibility?
At UKC, we’re here to help small UK businesses not only get online — but stay protected too.
Why Should I Register More Than One Domain?
Your domain name is more than just a web address – it’s your digital identity. Once you’ve found the perfect name, it’s smart to secure other versions of that name.
Here’s why:
- Protect your brand from copycats and competitors
- Control your name across the web
- Reach more people with different extensions
- Use them creatively for email, campaigns, or redirects
1. Protect Your Brand from Imitators
Let’s say you own mybrand.co.uk, but someone else registers mybrand.com or mybrand.uk.
They could:
- Confuse your customers
- Take traffic that should be going to you
- Or worse — try to pretend to be you
Registering multiple extensions keeps your brand, traffic, and reputation safe.
2. Keep Control of Your Name
Once a domain is gone, it’s usually gone for good (unless you pay a premium to buy it back).
Grabbing the popular extensions now means you stay in control — forever.
3. Reach a Wider Audience
Different domain extensions can help you target different markets:
- .co.uk – Great for UK-based businesses
- .com – Ideal for international reach
- .uk – A newer, shorter alternative
- .net, .org, .info – Perfect for networks, non-profits, or info-based sites
- .shop, .online, .store – Spot-on for eCommerce
You can point them all to your main website using web forwarding, which is included free with all UKC domains.
4. Use Variations Creatively
You don’t have to build a separate website for each domain. You can:
- Redirect them to your main site
- Use one for professional email (e.g. info@yourbusiness.com)
- Set up campaign-specific landing pages
With UK Cheapest, web and email forwarding are included free with every domain name.
