Domain Names

All about Domain Names.

A domain name is analogous to a business name. You do not necessarily need one to trade under but in most cases it is good to have one.
Domain names represent your business identity online and your current customers will most probably try to find your business that way

What can I have for a Domain Name?

Domain Names conform to a set of rules laid out by Internet Names World Wide (INWW) - the .com.au governing body. ".com.au" is the internationally recognised Domain for Australian Businesses.
Place names such as "Launceston" or "Australia" are not allowed and generic collective terms such as "Mechanics", "Electricians", "Internet" are prohibited.
If your business name is unavailable then you must create a Domain Name which can be an acronym or an abbreviation of your real business name.
