A domain name is an identification label to define a realm of administrative control on the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).

An important purpose of a good domain name is to provide an easily recognisable name. Shorter, and therefore more memorable, domain names are thought to have more appeal.

Is a good idea to obtain a .AU extension where possible. You can own more than one domain name and it is a good idea to aquire and point any variations at your main domain eg: buy both .com.au and .com.

• Main Domain Name: www.example.com.au
• Variation 1 of Domain Name: www.example.com
• Variation 2 of Domain Name: www.example.net.au
• Variation 3 of Domain Name: www.example.net

• URL: http://www.example.com.au/index.html
• Domain name: www.example.com.au
• Registered domain name: example.com.au
