Domain Names
General Information
Domain names are how people find your website. For example, Hiltonian Media own (amongst others) hiltonian.com and hiltonian.net and you may well have typed one of these address into your web browser to reach this website. However, domain names aren't just about providing a memorable address for your website but are now an essential part of protecting your online identity.
Choosing the domain name(s) you require can be a difficult task, especially if you have a long business name or the name you require is a generic word or words. Fortunately, new options are becoming available all the time, including .info, .biz and .me.uk and many more; the address-space is continually being expanded. You can check which domain names are available by using our WHOIS tool.
So whether you require just a single domain name or you have a portfolio of domain names to be registered and managed, Hiltonian Media will provide you with the service and advice you need. Please read on for a list of domains and prices, and when you are ready to order, please contact us.
Search Domain Names
To check whether a particular domain name has been registered, please use our WHOIS Domain Lookup tool.
Alternatively, use our Global WHOIS Lookup tool to multiple suffixes at once.
Features
All domain names provide the following facilities:
- Website forwarding
- Email forwarding
- Nameserver changes
- Much more when used with our website hosting!
If you have a website you will additionally need somewhere to host that website. Hiltonian Media provide affordable and reliable website hosting.
Prices
Please note that if you are not a Hiltonian Media hosting client, a £5.00 ex VAT (£5.87 inc VAT) registration and admin fee will be charged when your domain is registered and each time it is renewed. Because we register domain names by hand, this fee covers our administration costs. Prices include all registrar (NIC) fees and there are no hidden costs.

* “Usage” is simply the most common or intended use for each particular domain name extension. The actual usage restrictions vary widely between extensions and we will inform you if you are unable to register a domain name due to these restrictions. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to check the relevant terms and conditions for each registrar — links can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
Transfers
You can transfer your existing domain name to us for a £10.00 ex VAT (£11.75 inc VAT) admin fee plus the appropriate fee (see above) for one renewal cycle of that domain. This will extend your domain registration by the length of the renewal period at which point we will continue charging the appropriate renewal fee shown in the price list above. Please contact us for more details.
We do not impose any restrictions on outgoing domain transfers so long as you do not owe us any money. See our Terms & Conditions for details. The same also applies if you wish to change the ownership, nameserver details or contacts for the domain name.
