The website name can be anything and may not even be a business. I could make a website sony.co.uk or sony.net and if that website is free then I can use it so long as i do not try and act in a business manner that is in any way similar to Sony Japan, Sony Europe, Sony US or such like.
But this is not very likely as businesses buy up all available .com or .co.uk or .net URLs. to prevent this from happening. If the website wants to conduct business in a premises then it has to be called (whatever.co.uk) or whatever post dot. It can't form a business without the dot in the business name nor can it register the business without the (dot whatever). However a sole trader that does not need to be registered as a business can still use the title in website name of a business in operating but in all his/her communications the (whatever.whatever) must be stated in full.
