Establishing a web presence is not as expensive or as complicated as you may think. There are three simple steps:
A domain name is the unique name by which a website is identified on the Internet; it is a memorable address and should be both recognisable and relative to your business name or brand. An example of a domain name is ‘yourbusiness.com.au’ and ownership of this domain name is essential.
Once you’ve settled on a domain name, check it’s still available: http://www.melbourneit.com.au/cc/whois/index
Pricing:
- .com.au or .net.au $20.95* (2 years)
- .com or.net $19.95* (1 year)
Are there any restrictions on buying a .com.au domain name?
Yes, unlike most other domain name types (.com etc) .au domain names are regulated by auDA. You need to be operating a business in Australia. This means you'll either have a tax file number or a registered Australian Business Number — either as an individual trader or as a company. The domain name you buy also has to be related to your business name or a product or service you supply.
Think of web hosting as the space you rent on the Internet so you can publish your website online.
