Choosing your websites Domain name is a vital step in optimising your website. This is because a site named with your keywords in it will attract natural traffic (i.e. typed in on the address bar).

domain name is the name that
people type in their web browser to see your site. i.e. www.dorsetwebsites.com
Although you may have a name in mind, I strongly advise
that you don't choose a name, until you are certain
about which search engine phrases (also known as keywords),
you will be found for.
Domain names cannot be bought outright, but are registered in blocks of one or two years. Dot com names have a higher profile than. co.uk. Dot com is the first name extension that anyone thinks of if guessing your businesses site name.

"don't choose a (domain) name, until you are certain about which search engine phrases you will be found for"
As soon as you are certain your name matches your best keyword(s), register it as soon as possible. Thousands of names are being registered every day. If possible register both the dot com and. co.uk names to prevent the competition stealing your business.
The cost of names gets cheaper and cheaper each year. The cheapest I've found for the uk is 1 & 1
