Selecting A Domain


STAMP DEMON is a .co.uk site, but we own the .com and .net as well. The domain was carefully chosen, as at present we are based in the UK and we are particularly interested in British Stamps.

However, we could have just as easily chosen to use a .tv domain or a .org domain. Infact, there are a whole range of different domains you can use and you don't have to be based in a particular country to use them. It's entirely your choice and many countries will sell you a domain, providing you can communicate with them. For example .hk is Hong Kong, but I might not have much success purchasing .hk for my site as I don't speak Chinese!

Recently, our good friend Zyra purchased a .bz domain. Zyra Belize. Why? Well, it's quite simple, zyra is emigrating and the chosen destination is Belize. You can purchase a domain for any reason, it's upto you. If you own a Television Production company, you might opt for a .tv domain.

First choose your website name and then select the domain. You might want to visit our web page What's in a name? to help with your selection. Whatever your site, if we like it we'll link, providing you return the favour. Visit our Contact page and send us an email.
