Q: How much should I offer to pay for a domain?
A: That's really up to you, but there are a few things you ought to consider before making an offer such as the cost of registering the domains and renewal charges (we've had some of these domains for a while now) then there are the costs charged by the domain naming authorities for changing ownership and of course the domain name itself. If it is a desirable, prestigious domain name, or a self-describing domain name (great for SEO) then it is worth more than some of the quirky or less obviously personal domains that we own. Don't forget that this is a one-off charge, once you own it, renewal costs will only be a few pounds every year or so!
Q: What can I do if I don't see the domain I am looking for at BuyDomain.co.uk?

Many people consider shelter to be the second most important ingredient for human survival. Coincidentally, the second letter in the English alphabet evolved from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph signifying shelter. Although the designs are somewhat different, there is a recognizable correlation between this Egyptian hieroglyph and the second letter of the Phoenician alphabet. The Phoenicians called this letter beth, their word for “house.” The name was eventually carried over into names and places in the Bible, including Bethel (house of God) and Bethlehem (house of bread).
Beth was one of 19 characters acquired from the Phoenician traders that became the basis of the Greek alphabet. In assimilating these letters, the Greeks made slight changes to some of the names. Beth became beta, providing us with the second part of the two-letter name that makes up the word alphabet.
While the name change was minor, the eventual Greek beta looks quite different from the Phoenician beth. Over many years the letter evolved from a pennant and right-angle shape into something that is quite similar to our present-day "B". First the character was inverted so that the triangle was at the base. Then, through continual use, and perhaps because symmetry was important to the Greeks, a second triangle was added and the two triangles ended up on the right side of the character.
The Greek beta further developed in the hands of the Romans. They changed its name to Bay, and formalized the curved strokes.
