Why do you need a domain?

A domain name is your own unique identity on the Internet and unlike some other providers, Pink Chilli helps you to register a domain AND use it with our amazing FREE Email Package. This means that all you do is pay for the domain name and we will set up email accounts for you and help you set these up on your computer in Outlook.

Revolutionise your e-mail: Instead of a naff boring e-mail address such as jane382@tomhoy38218.freeisp.co.uk, why not have jane@yourcompany.com? A proper e-mail address instantly conveys an air of professionalism.

Your own web site: Again, instead of publishing your web site for personal or company use at some rubbish Internet address, you could have an address like www.yourcompany.com

Why do I need to register it now? Domain name availability continues to diminish as more and more people realise that they can't ignore the Internet. In the time it takes you to read this short guide, over 100 domain names will probably have been registered. Is one of those domains your personal or business name? With the amazing growth of the Internet, 20,000 Domain Names are being registered by companies and private users every day. New Internet technologies are increasing this number rapidly.

Even if you do not intend to use a domain name yet but would like your own name in the future you should reserve your chosen name by registering it as soon as possible. You don't have to use it straight away and once a name is registered it cannot be used by anyone else without your permission. Although you should avoid other parties' trade marks, you could make a hefty profit if you choose a name that somebody else wants in the future. For example, the name business.com was sold for $7.5 million dollars and the BBC paid a six figure sum for the name bbc.com from an American computer company with the BBC initials.
