Domain Names
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the internet address that people may use to find your website, such as www.yourbusinessname.com.au.
Registering your domain name
Registering your domain name is easy. We do all the work for you, and best of all, the first 2 years domain name registration* is included in your website package.
If you already have a domain name registered, we will update your name servers when we set up your hosting account.

When choosing your domain name, you may like to consider the following domain name extensions (dependent on your website’s purpose):
