Why do I want my own domain name?
  • A permanent Web Address. Even if you move Hosting Provider, you just take your name with you, which means all links to you on search engines and other sites will still work.

  • Unlimited Email Aliases. (sales@yourname.com, info@yourname.com, Etc.)

  • It shows you are serious. Lets prospective customers know you are serious about your online presence.
What kinds are available?

The main ones are .com for Commercial and .net for Network related.

For example Hatch Homes - Real Estate, has hatchhomes.com and Alphernet - Internet Provider, has alpher.net.au

Country Code
Each country has it's own country code. For example our Domain is wolfweb.com.au. The .au means our company is registered in Australia. New Zealand is .nz, Indonesia is .id, the UK is .uk. Since the Internet started in the USA, they do not have a country code, their domains end in .com (or .net and others). Many people register the USA extensions as well as the Australian, or just register a .com or .net as the domain address is shorter and has an international feel.

Restrictions
To register an Australian .com or .net Domain name, you need to have a business or company registered in Australia that is related to the domain name you are registering. Doman name policy can be found here.

These restrictions do not apply for USA Domain Names. Anyone can register a .com , .net or .org domain name, you do not have to have a business or company name or live in the USA.

Other countries have their own variable rules or restrictions, please Contact Us if you require further information about other domains of other countries.

Waiting for a Domain to start working
You might not be able to view your domain/s at your new location on our servers immediately because your ISP (Internet Service Provider) might have the old DNS infomation cached in their network. This normally would take around 1-3 days for this caching to update, however new visitors to your site will see the new location.
