Domain Eligibility: Can I Really Make it Mine?

In recent weeks we’ve looked into the details surrounding the availability and selection of domain names. However, in some instances, business owners and domainers may find themselves in a position where, despite a domain being available, they are ineligible to use it. On this point, it’s also important to distinguish that purchasing a domain name does not transfer the asset itself.

Well, this has been established by the .au Domain Administration […]

Domain Pointing: Why Two Names are Better than One

Last time, we brought you everything you needed to know about choosing a TLD, and the importance of having a .com.au domain.

It should come as no surprise that few people, if any, visit www.google.net.au or www.facebook.net.au. After all, .net.au domains are often perceived as playing second fiddle to .com.au in Australia. Not only are web users less receptive towards them, people are typically less likely to remember or click on them. Whereas a good .com.au domain exudes authority and credibility […]

Domain Names: How to Choose the Right Domain Name

It’s often easy for website owners to be distracted by the development process, which, while important, can amount to little reward if your audience cannot find you.

That’s where the right domain plays its part. So what’s behind a good name? Here are the key dynamics to consider that will help you choose the right domain name.   Use Descriptive Keywords Despite the domain community continuing to debate whether […]
