Domain Registration and Hosting

Thinking of setting up a website but not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered.

Domain Registration

When creating a website, you will first need to choose your domain. Preferably this would resemble your business name. For example, Bluescope Technologies operates the domain of www.scope.ie.

You don’t have to limit yourself to one domain either. We can set up domain forwarding where you can own multiple domains that can all point to one primary domain. For example, Bluescope Technologies owns 3 domains for SEO purposes; bluescope.ie and bluescopetechnologies.com both point to our primary domain, scope.ie.

For a domain to be viewed online, it needs to be hosted with a website host service provider.

Website Hosting

A domain and website hosting go hand-in-hand when launching a website. At Bluescope, we can assist with both domain registration and website hosting.

What you can expect when you host with Bluescope:

Minimum of 20GB disk space for your website
99% uptime
Complimentary standard SSL certificate

What is a domain?

A domain is the unique name of your website that is typed into your browser’s address bar.

E.g. www.scope.ie

What is hosting?

A website is associated with a domain and given the ability to be viewed online through a web host service provider. A domain and hosting go hand-in-hand when launching a website.

What is an SSL?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is installed on websites to establish an encrypted connection between the web server and internet browsers. An SSL appears as a padlock icon in your address bar.
