Innovative Digital Solutions for SMBs
Securing the right domain name is the first step in building your online presence and a well-chosen domain helps establish credibility, improve search visibility, and make it easier for customers to find you.
A domain name is your unique address on the Internet. It is how people find your website and connect with your business online. Think of it as the digital version of a street address, guiding visitors directly to your site, such as "yourbusiness.com.au".
But a domain name does more than just point to your website, it also forms the foundation for your professional email address. Using your domain for email, like "info@yourbusiness.com.au", builds trust, strengthens your brand identity, and gives your business a polished, credible presence. A good domain name is essential for both your website and your communication tools.
For businesses operating in Australia, domain extensions like ".com.au" and ".net.au" signal credibility and local presence. These extensions are trusted by Australian consumers and are often preferred in local search results. Having a ".com.au" domain name or a ".net.au" domain name also helps meet eligibility requirements for many business services and online listings within Australia.
The new ".au" direct extension offers a shorter, cleaner alternative to traditional Australian domain names. With just yourname.au, you can create a bold and modern web address that's easy to remember and quick to type. It's perfect for businesses and and organisations looking to keep things sleek and simple.
Choosing between an Australian domain (like ".com.au") and an international domain (like ".com" or ".net") depends on your goals. Local domains help connect with Australian audiences and improve local SEO, while global extensions may be suitable for businesses targeting international markets. We'll help you choose the best fit for your strategy.
A great domain name should be short, relevant, and easy to spell. It should reflect your business name or services while avoiding confusion. Including keywords where appropriate can help with search visibility. We offer expert advice to help you find a name that ticks all the boxes - available, brandable, and built to grow with your business.
Some domain names can unintentionally create confusion or carry negative connotations. Avoid names that are too long, difficult to spell, or could be misread in ways that damage your brand.
You want to make sure that there are no inappropriate words hiding in your chosen domain name. If you are not careful, when the words in your domain name are joined together, they could form different words unintentionally. For example, combining "IT" and the word "scrap" would form "itscrap", which could be read as "Its Crap". (Adding a hyphen to the domain name may sometimes help to avoid this issue.)
Here are some unintentional but inappropriate domain names:
IT Scrap - www.itscrap.com
Speed Of Art - www.speedofart.com
Therapist Finder - www.therapistfinder.com
Expert's Exchange - www.expertsexchange.com
Childrens Wear - www.childrenswear.co.uk
Pen Island - www.penisland.net
