Low Cost Domain Registration

Why register a domain ?

A domain name allows your own unique identity.
This applies to your website and your email address.

If you wish to change your Internet Service Provider, your domain name does not change.
This allows you to print stationary with your permanent domain address - both website and contact email - these will not change as long as you renew your domain registration.

Having your own domain name allows people to remember your address.

Some search directories such as Yahoo only index websites with their own domain name.


Selecting The Best Domain Name

  • If operating within Australia - register a .com.au domain.
    This is because people tend to search "within Australia" where the Search Engine give precedent to the .com.au domain over the .com Domain in the search results.

  • .com or .com.au for commerce
    If you have a business, try and obtain a .com or a .com.au domain.
    Australia .com.au registration is strict and you will have to provide proof of a registered business.
    The advantage with this Australian registration is that it verifies that there is an actual business connected to the website. Alternatively, a .com domain could mean anything.

  • Select a recognisable domain name
    The name should reflect what you do so that potential customers recognise they are on the right website.

  • Relevancy
    It is better to have your actual business name or a name similar to your company name as your domain name, this way all your product branding will pay off online as Internet clients should be able to guess your domain name from your business name.

  • Easy to remember

  • Keyphrase Domains are search engine friendly
    If you can include a search engine key phrase it will help in recognition

  • Area specific names
    If you business is restricted to a specific area, include that area in the Domain Name

  • No really long domain names
    You can register names up to 63 characters

  • Avoid similarities
    Avoid choosing domain names that close to existing domain names - your clients could get confused and end up on another similar sounding website.

  • Protect your Domain Name by registering multiple extensions
    This deters unwanted competition. You can park these .com .net .org domains on your existing website so that all domains work off the one website.

  • Protect your privacy
    .com, .net etc domains can be Privacy Protected - this prevents spammers getting hold of your email address
  • ACCC  (Consumer Affairs)
     Domain Fact Sheet - Information on .au and .com - (don't get caught)
