Your Domain Name
Your domain name is an important part of your Web site.
For information experts, the trend in the market is to have your own name as a .com domain name - e.g. KitGrant.com, DavidPrice.com, MattChurch.com.
If you don't already have your domain name, we recommend you register it as soon as possible!
We recommend you use DomainDiscover.com, where you can register .com, .net., .org and other such international domain names. Domain Discover is very reasonably-priced, and your registration includes a couple of very important features for your Web site:
- It allows you to set up unlimited e-mail addresses at your domain, and have them forwarded to any other address of your choice.
- Importantly, it allows us to reassign your domain name to point to your new Web site. Not all domain registrars allow this!
Unfortunately, Domain Discover doesn't register Australian domain names. So for them (.com.au, .org.au and so on), we recommend Enetica.
If you have already registered a domain name ...
If you've used some other registrar for your domain name, we might be able to use it at that registrar. We'll look into this when we start the project, and advise you if we think you should move it to Domain Discover or Enetica.
If worse comes to worst, we can show you how to use an intermediate hosting solution to make this easier. It's an additional US$6/month, but sometimes it's the easiest option.
Additional domain names
If you wish, you can have more than one domain name pointing to your Web site.
There's no additional charge for this service (except the cost of registering the
additional domain names).
