Domain Registration
Web Design By The Bay can set up a new domain name for your business, or transfer an existing one to the Domain provider we use. Costs vary for Domain names depending on whether the address is a .com, .com.au, .net etc. Before selecting your domain name, you should consider the following:
- Keep your domain name short and simple, so that people can remember it
- A .com name is the most popular top-level domain name. However if you are selling a product or a service within Australia, then you should consider using a .com.au address
- Avoid a name similar to that of your competition
- Have a number of domain names chosen, incase the domain name you are searching for has already been taken
- When purchasing a .com.au domain name, please ensure that you have your abn number ready, as you will need this at the time of purchase
- Its always a good idea to purchase a domain name thats available in your country extension, as well as the .com
- If you are in Australia, it’s always a good idea to purchase the .au as well as the .com.au
