Domain names: what they are
A domain name is the address of your website. People type it into a browser, or they click a search result that has your domain in the URL. Some examples:
yourbusiness.com.au— Australian business.yourbusiness.com— international.yourcharity.org.au— Australian non-profit.
You choose what your domain is when you register it. The convention is to pick something close to your business name, short, and easy to spell out loud.
Email addresses: what they are
If you've ever written your business email on a card or an invoice, you'll know that something like [email protected] doesn't look as serious as [email protected]. A personalised email address (one that uses your own domain) signals to customers that you're a real business and not a side hobby.
A typical small business has a handful of these:
[email protected]— general inbox.[email protected]— invoices and bookkeeping.[email protected]— your direct address.
What we provide
- We register your domain name in your name. You're the legal owner.
- We set up up to ten personalised business email addresses.
- We manage renewals so the domain doesn't accidentally lapse.
- We handle DNS changes so you don't have to learn what an MX record is.
The cost of registration and renewal is bundled into our website hosting fee. One annual invoice, one renewal date.
Already have a domain?
If you've already registered a domain, or you've got business email running somewhere else, we can migrate it across to us so it's all in one place. Get in touch and tell us what you've got.
