Domains and Hosting
We are proud to offer unsurpassed levels of support and service of domain names and website hosting. We are one of only a few companies in the country specialising in the application and set-up of .gov.uk domain names with JANET, the UK's Education and Research Domain Name Network. We have also managed to incorporate the cost of the domain name into our website packages*, which means that you can have your own .org.uk / .co.uk / .net / .com or .info domain name free charge.
Recommended Domain Name
We always recommend that your domain name be www.yourcouncil-pc.org.uk. This is the domain recommended for Parish Councils by the e-Cabinet Office.
