Getting your business online doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ve been in the online business game for almost two decades, helping everyone from small-time bloggers to giant corporations build their online presence and grow their business.

Unfortunately the odds are stacked up against startups; just one in 10 businesses is likely to make it past year three! The digital age has created a very competitive online environment and it’s a dog-eat-dog world for any potential entrepreneurs. For this reason, your online presence is vital. And that’s where we come in!
So how can UK2 get your business set up online?
Your domain name
The first step for any potential business is to register a domain name. Much like the name of your business, the domain name you decide on will become a big part of your brand, and this decision shouldn’t be taken lightly. We host over 1,000,000 domain names around the world, so we know the recipe for a strong web address. Firstly, you should try and secure the .com domain name for your business, as it is the most widely recognised web address ending. Keeping things short and sweet before the ‘dot’ is recommended, so your website visitors are less likely to forget or misspell it.

Your website

We offer a Website Builder tool and an Online Shop Builder, both of which will provide you with a fully functional, mobile optimised site that looks great on any screen. Website Builder will help you showcase your website, and is great for bloggers. Online Shop Builder comes with full shop functionality so you can trade with the world with ease.
