| Hints on choosing your domain name
If you're in business, you should have your own domain name.
- Your domain name can then be yours for as long as you wish by
paying a bi-annual registration fee. (Stay with Allsites and renewal
is automatically included).
- Instead of using your ISP email address, your email address
can now be at your own domain (eg. john@johnscatering.com.au)
Your domain name (eg. www.yourdomainname.com.au) should be either
...
- a derivative of your business name
- a description of the products or services you provide
However, option 1 is usually best, particularly if your business
name also helps to describe what you do (eg. www.abcplumbing.com.au,
www.localaccountants.com.au, www.bestelectrics.com.au)
Option 1 also helps to 'brand' your business and set it apart from
your competitors.
If you have a long business name, try to make your domain name a
shorter derivative of it.
(eg. Northern Automotive Spare Parts could become www.autoparts.com.au)
If your domain name looks 'stange' when written without spaces,
then you can put a dash/hyphen in it. However, don't use a hyphen
just for the sake of it. Domain names in general are better without
them. Only use a hyphen if the name appears confusing to read.
(eg. atomic-excavations.com.au looks better than atomicexcavations.com.au)

DO NOT register your domain name - we will register it and
pay for it as part of your package.
Once you've chosen your domain name, enter it along with your website
details.
