Domain Names

Domain names are the link between the world wide web, and your website.

Usually in a form similar to www.yourcompany.com.au, they provide instant recognition for existing and potential customers.

Domain names ending in the extension .au are only available to businesses with a valid trademark, ACN/ABN or BRN. This offers some form of protection against another entity purchasing your potential name and possibly onselling for an inflated price.

Other types of domain names are .net.au, .org.au (reserved for non-profit organisations), .id.au (home/personal use), as well as global names which don't have the .au extension, even .nz for New Zealand.

Apart from the name recognition domain names provide on the internet, your company emails also benefit by having an identity, such as: sales@yourcompany.com.au and as you own the name you can change your internet service provider, without changing your email addresses, nor having to advise customers of email changes.

Domain parking is offered as a free service that allows you to purchase your domain name, if you don't have a site yet, and multiple names can be purchased (ie. com.au & net.au), preventing someone else obtaining them, and linked to a single or multiple websites.

Call to discuss your requirements, whether it be transferring, renewing, registering a domain name, or designing & hosting your website.
