Hattons and Ehattons - Whats the difference?
Elliott Cowton
am going to ask it just the same.
I have heard here (and elsewhere) about the Hatton's website and as its the
time of year when my wife asks me what I want for my birthday I thought I
would have a look for a suitable suggestion. I have just been to three
sites that own themselves as Hatton's sites but one of them struck me as a
bit "odd".
Can anyone tell me if www.ehattons.co.uk is anything to do with
www.ehattons.com and www.hattons.co.uk which are clearly the Hatton's we
know and love?
The reason I am asking is that I found it a bit odd (particularly at my time
of life) being asked if I wanted to become a model...
TIA
Elliott

I think the original idea was that the "ehattons" site uses less
bandwidth hungry pictures & hence faster to use.

.co.uk was front shop only.

The issue was what is the difference between ehattons.com which is obviously
the shop website and ehattons.com which at first sight could be associated
with Hattons but actually has some links on it that seem to be drawing you
towards taking up a career as a model.
Jerry's response has indeed highlighted that ehattons.co.uk is nothing to do
with the Hatton's shop websites.
Jerry: as an aside (and off list if you wish), could you tell me where you
went to glean the info you posted? Obviously it was to one of these on-line
registration databases, and I really think its about time I found out how to
do this for myself. Thanks.

Actually Jerry, please ignore previous request. I have just re-googled with
a couple of typos removed from the search string and I have now found the
whois site.
Dohhh.....

couple of times.

ehattons.com is the trading site for hattons, not ehattons.co.uk. Shows
that it always pays to register all versions of your stores url.

It's not practical, there are almost infinite variations of any particular
url, eHattons.org, eHattons.net, eHattons.nu, etc, etc. There's probably
even a eHatto.ns somewhere in the world.

Very true, BUT, any UK business should try and obtain those that are
or could be thought as UK business suffixes (ie. .com .co.uk .net),
most people would be surprised if a UK *based* business was to use a
.ca suffix for example so there would be little risk in not owning it
IYSWIM.

Hatton's has photos and mini-bios of all their staff, including students
on work experience, at http://www.ehattons.com/list/staff.aspx - Richard
Davies is 5th on the list, and appears to be the "brains" behind the
websites and order tracking system. If you order from Hatton's on the net,
you get a series of e-mails confirming your order, charges to your credit
card and package dispatch. Each one has a link to the staff member
involved. I think this adds a nice personal touch to a large business.
Some people were suspicious when Richard first posted in this group
seeking input, but I think it was a smart move to take into account the
customers' needs and desires. Too many businesses don't.

IT specialist who answers and updates the website now, it seems Richard is
