What is a domain name?Your domain name is an address where internet users can find you on the web. An example is www.yourbusiness.com.au.
While it isn't strictly necessary to have your own unique domain name (www.yourcompany.com.au), we recommend that you do, since it is considered unprofessional to have a web address like ww.hostname.com.au/~yourcompany.
A wisely chosen domain name can be a real business asset.
The cost of domain name registration varies depending on the type of address you want. Domain type

- Promote the different products and services you offer
- Generate more traffic to your web site
- Increase opportunities to be listed in search engines
- Create individualised advertising strategies that reach different markets
- Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the internet
- Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page
- Protect your brand and online identity from those who may have unsavory purposes
