Why do you need a domain name?
A domain name is your business’s address on the internet and plays a vital role in how customers find and trust you online. It helps establish your brand, makes your website easy to remember and gives your business a professional appearance. Your own domain also lets you create branded email addresses, improve search engine visibility and keep full control of your online presence.
- Your business’s own address on the internet
- Branded email addresses, like you@yourbusiness.co.uk
- Easier to remember, and better for search visibility
- Full control over your online presence

How much does a domain name cost?
Regular domains such as .co.uk, .uk, .com, .net and .org are £15 + VAT a year, or £25 a year for active domains that need ongoing DNS management.
Which domain extension should I choose?
.co.uk and .uk tell visitors you’re a UK business, while .com is recognised worldwide. Many businesses register more than one to protect their name. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you choose.
Can I have email addresses on my domain?
Yes. Your own domain lets you create branded email addresses, such as you@yourbusiness.co.uk. We set up and manage Microsoft 365 Business and Google Workspace, and our website hosting includes domain email.
Will you set up my domain for me?
Yes. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with domain records or settings: our experts set everything up for you. It’s done behind the scenes automatically if we host your website or manage your cloud services, such as Microsoft 365 Business or Google Workspace.
How do I manage my DNS records?
Register as a control panel user and we’ll add your hosting services to your account. Then log in at cp.universalcomputing.co.uk, select the hosting service and go to Domains › Manage DNS. Changes to DNS can take your website or email offline if they’re set incorrectly, so ask us if you’re unsure.
Which nameservers should I use?
Use ns1.universalcomputing.co.uk, ns2.universalcomputing.co.uk, ns3.universalcomputing.co.uk and ns4.universalcomputing.co.uk for any domain whose website we host. They’re needed for our free SSL certificate. Changes can take up to 48 hours to take effect, although most domains update within hours.
