A domain is the permanent asset of your online presence — websites get rebuilt and hosts get changed, but the domain carries your brand, your email addresses and your accumulated search reputation through all of it. Hostinger is an ICANN-accredited registrar covering hundreds of extensions.

Getting registration right

Three details matter more than the purchase itself. Register in the business's own name and account, never a designer's or an employee's — ownership disputes over domains are a genuinely miserable category of problem. Use a contact email you will still control in five years. And turn auto-renewal on, because an expired domain takes the website and every company mailbox down together.

Multi-year registration reduces the number of renewal events that can be missed, but auto-renewal on a valid payment method is the real protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many domains should a business register?

Usually three or four: the primary, the alternate extension, and one or two likely misspellings redirecting to the main address. Beyond that the returns fall away quickly for an SME.

What happens if a domain expires?

The website and email stop working, and after grace and redemption periods the name can return to the open market. Recovery gets progressively more expensive, which is why auto-renewal matters more than any other setting.

Can I register a domain before my trade licence is issued?

Yes — there is no licence requirement, and founders commonly secure names during company formation. It is the one step someone else can take while you wait.
