Startups is hosting a simple domain name checker to allow readers to find and buy the perfect website address for their new company.

Already offering new companies extensive advice on choosing a domain name that helps to increase traffic from search engines, Startups.co.uk now enables readers to check the availability of their ideal website address through a brand new function on the site. 

Customers can then choose from a wide variety of extensions, before buying the name directly from Namesco for as little as £4.99 for a year.

Launched in October 2012, it is hoped that the new feature will guide new businesses through the first step of setting up a website.
