Choosing a great domain name
A great domain name is easy to remember. Make sure yours is as short as possible and easy to spell. Most of all a domain name should reflect you. Make sure you:
- Register your main company or business name in popular domain spaces e.g. abc.com, abc.com.au
- Register your product and service names e.g. abcchairs.com.au
- Register generic terms relevant to your business e.g. chairs.com.au, bench.com.au, seats.com.au, furniture.com.au
- Secure names in global markets e.g. abcchairs.co.nz, bench.asia, seats.cn, furniture.co.uk
Put your domains to use
Registering your domain names is only the start. To make it work for you, you should get your own branded email address like me@mydomain.com.au, your own website with our business grade hosting, your own blog, your own Intranet, or just redirect it to an existing website with our DNS management solution.
