How to register an Australian domain name:

Just like your physical address helps customers find your store, your domain name is your online address. It’s what people type into their web browser to reach your website.

.com.au is Best for Most Australian Businesses:

This tells people you’re local and builds trust. You’ll need a registered business number (ACN or ABN) to get one.

Picking a Great Domain Name:

• Short and sweet (around 15 characters) for easy remembering.
• Makes sense for your business (helps people guess what you do).
• Check online to see if it’s available (most sellers have a free tool).

Popular Options for Australian Businesses:

• .com.au: The go-to option for most Australian businesses.
• .net.au: Commonly used for internet-related businesses.
  

Finding a Seller:

There are many reputable domain name registrars in Australia. Compare prices and features before making a purchase.

Buying and Setting Up Your Domain:

• Provide Business Info: You’ll need to share some details when buying.
• Pick a Registration Period: Choose how long you want to own it (usually 1 to 5 years).
• Pay Securely: Pay for your chosen domain name.
• Technical Setup: If you’re not tech-savvy, ask your web designer to connect it to your website and create emails.

Getting a domain name is the first step to having a website!
