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
