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 ...

1. a derivative of your business name
2. 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)

Once you've chosen your domain name, enter it along with your website details.
