Big Announcement!

[PCS]

We have recently aqcuired a new domain name for PC Specialist:

www.pcs.co.uk

We will slowly, over the course of the next few months be migrating over to the new domain name. As most customers already refer to us as PCS, and have done for for several years this name should complement our brand and help our company expand further over the next few years!

As a bonus, we also have www.pc.co.uk which will forward to pcs.co.uk.

awesome Sweet domains xD

 

[Frenchy]

will you be keeping pcspecialist.co.uk ?

 

[PCS]

Absolutely - we're always going to be pcspecialist, just with an easier domain name. Changing domain names is a very lengthly process, and for years we'll still be linked to @pcspecialist.co.uk - the website will eventually forward all traffic, so for example once we migrate we will forward all URL's to the same place on the new domain:

http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/desktop-pcs/battlefield-3/ --> http://www.pcs.co.uk/desktop-pcs/battlefield-3/

http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/pcs/ --> http://www.pcs.co.uk/pcs/

http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/ --> http://www.pcs.co.uk/laptop-computers/

We might have to setup a nice forum URL to make it super easy to get to our forums, maybe www.pcs.co.uk/f/

forums.pcs.co.uk would be even nicer. So many websites are doing this now!

Well we also have www.pc.org.uk so if anyone does try typing it in wrong we might get traffic from there

 

[Pyrotenax]

or www.pc.specialist when the new ones become active by ICANN :0)

i think it should be like this

laptop.pcs.co.uk
pc.pcs.co.uk
mini-pc.pcs.co.uk

etc etc

im surprised at how many links you had, i never knew

The domain itself is what theyre buying, addresses within that domain you can have as you want, for things like forums it can make sense to prepend the word infront of the url however in cases such as the ones you stated its much more common to have them after a / thus denoting a subsection of the website.

 

[Wozza63]

i guess, but those are the major sections of the site and thatt is why i chose them and not this for example

i7-extreme-PC.pcs.co.uk

Good stuff PCS, always good to keep moving forward

 

[vimto1]

This sounds well good! You are right, a lot more people do refer to you as PCS instead of PCSpecialist (Probably down to how people, like me, write the name in forums). Will the Website Layout still be the same?

Absolutely - everything will be the same apart from the logo, which has changed from:

was you actually meant to put a different logo or was it a joke

The logo is different, as we have removed the".co.uk"

 

[Wozza63]

those 2 logos are identical though...

 

[PCS]

those 2 logos are identical though...

They are the same logo, but I don't think it would be best practice for our logo to be "pcspecialist.co.uk" when our URL is pcs.co.uk...

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

those 2 logos are identical though...

Think you need your eyes checked Wozza if they look identical to you
