Your online brand

The domain name you choose can make or break your success online. Also called the URL, it is essentially a short and more easily recognizable representation of the unique Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your website. Picking the right name – one that is memorable, relevant, commercially appealing, brandable, keyword-rich, and has the most suitable domain extension – can help improve your website’s recall factor, search engine rankings, and even its viral marketability. Let Scotserve help you in building your online brand.

Protect your identity

Under its contract with every domain name holder, Nominet may publish your registration details. However, as a non-trading individual, you have the option to use the opt-out, this however is not available to trading registrants i.e. not a consumer, if for some reason you do not want your details on the whois we can provide a proxy service. We will modify the domain name record held by Nominet on your behalf, making sure that your address details are not visiblebut you retain fill legal entitlement to the domain.

For .com/net/info/biz/org we offer completely free a domain masking service, this stops the spammers and scammers from “data mining” your details from the whois registry but again leaves you in full control of the domain

Avoid legal pitfalls
It’s our goal to help you navigate through domain name registration so you can elude the usual legal pitfalls that cost time and money.

Steer clear of trademark conflicts – Choose a domain name that is not tied to another company’s trademarks in order to prevent future legal conflicts.

Understand the fine print – Domain name registration does not confer legal ownership of the name, but confers an exclusive right of use. As a registrant, you are subject to rules that limit which domain names may be registered, certain restrictions on type of registrant, and restrictions on usage. Registration also subjects you to obligations to Nominet in relation to your domain name, and to certain terms on data protection. Before you register, please review the following:

  • Terms and Conditions
