A domain name is a license to use a specific name on the Internet for a specific period of time (generally 1-2 years). An example of a domain name is tppinternet.com.au. The most common uses for domain names are as website addresses (www.webnova.com.au) and/or email addresses ( \n domains@webnova.com.au This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
Once your domain name has been successfully registered, you will need hosting in order to use the domain name for email addresses and to display a website. WebNova offers a number of different hosting packages that will allow you to set up professional email addresses using your new domain name (e.g. \n bob@yournewdomainname.com.au This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and display a website. For more information on WebNova's hosting products, please click here, or call +61 3 9005 3650 to speak with our Sales consultants.
Some people believe that registering a business name, ABN or ACN will enable them to have exclusive registration rights of the same name as a domain name; however the various domain name spaces operate independently from the various business registers. There is no guarantee that your business name will be available to register as a domain name, so it is imperative that you register your name as a domain name as soon as you register your business name. Consider the registration of your business name as a domain name as an important minimal cost investment in your intellectual property and brand protection strategy. Call +61 3 9005 3650 to speak to our Sales Consultants about how registering domain names can assist your business in brand protection.
