The domain name is an essential part of any web site and registering it can be a tricky business. The good people at Nominet have written a guide on how to pick the right domain name.
I thought I’d pass on their recommendations and paste their guide below:

Hi.
Back in December UK2 teamed up with World Vision UK to offer our customers the opportunity to help villages in Africa. For every UK2 Gold or Platinum Server, and for every quarterly and annual Bronze and Silver Servers that were purchased during the month of December, UK2 gave a goat to villages in Africa via World Vision UK.
I pleased to say those customers that purchased servers have managed to provide many goats and we are currently in the process of arranging these. The goats are only given to areas that can support them and all the farmers and families involved are given full training in how to care for them.
