A .com domain for your business

## The idea behind .com

.com started in 1985 as the extension for companies (short for commercial), but today anyone can register one and it has become the extension people type without thinking. When someone hears your business name, they try .com first. That makes it the safe choice wherever your customers are.

## .com domains: frequently asked questions

### Why .com and not another extension?

Because it is the extension people guess first. If your name is free as a .com, take it, even if your main address uses another extension, so nobody else can claim it.

### What if the .com name I want is taken?

Try a shorter version, add your city or your field (for example brightbakerybristol), or search the same name with .net, .co or .shop. When a name is taken, the search also suggests close names that are free.

### How long do I buy a .com domain for?

You buy it for one year and it renews automatically every year, so you never lose it by accident. You can turn renewal off under Domains, and then we email you 30, 7 and 1 days before it expires.

### Can I use my .com domain with a website built here?

Yes. Create your website for free, turn on Premium and choose Connect to a site under Domains. We add the DNS records and the SSL certificate, so your .com address opens over HTTPS within minutes.
