What’s in a name?
With prices starting at £10 a year **, a domain name costs very little, but your domain name is invaluable. It is your identity on the Internet. It is your website and your email. You can’t put a price on it!
It takes some effort to make sure your domain name is set up and looked after properly. Let HTL take care of all these domain name dilemmas, so you don’t need to worry about it.
Use your DNS system to the max. An SPF record helps stop spammers from impersonating your email address!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually owns our domain name right now?
Many businesses discover their domain is registered to an ISP, ex-employee or web agency. As your existing content highlights, we can check the registration details and help you move ownership into the correct company name.
Do you handle renewals so we don’t lose our domains?
Yes. We can manage renewals on your behalf and keep track of expiry dates so domains don’t lapse accidentally.
How many domains should we register?
At minimum you should cover key TLDs for your main brand (e.g. .com, .co.uk). In some cases it also makes sense to register product names or common variations. We’ll suggest a sensible strategy without over-buying.
What is DNS and why does it matter?
DNS tells the internet where to send visitors and email for your domain. Without it, your website and email simply don’t work. We make sure DNS is correctly configured, resilient and aligned with your email and hosting setup.
Can you help with SPF and other email DNS records?
Yes. Records such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC help reduce spoofing and improve email deliverability. We configure these as part of broader Email Security & Spam Filtering and Hosted Exchange projects.
