What is a domain Name?
A domain name is an address that tells people where your website can be found. It consists of a word or phrase and an extension such as .com, .net, or .org. Once you have a domain name hosted, visitors will be able to view your site by entering your domain in the address bar of their Internet browser.

Can anyone register a domain name?
For .com, .net and .org domain names, anyone can register these. For .au domain names, you need to have a registered business name in Australia.

For .au domain names do I need to have same business name?
Recently, there have been changes to domain name registrations in Australia. You still need a business name, but it does not need to be the same name as your domain name.

Can I register a domain name containing only numbers?
Yes. Your domain name can consist of only letters, numbers, or a combination of the two. You can also use a hyphen (-), but your domain cannot begin or end with a hyphen.

How do I choose a good domain name?
Try to choose a domain that is short, easy to remember, and closely reflects the subject matter of your site.

Can I just register a domain name without web hosting?
