Domain Names

Domain names, such as your-domain-name.com, need to be registered before they can be used on the Internet. Registering a domain involves providing registration information and paying registration fees to a domain name registrar.

We prefer to manage initial registration of domain names for our clients. This saves time, simplifies management and helps reduce costs. However if you have already registered a domain name this is not a problem.

Information required

The information required to register a domain name is different for different types of domain. In general, you need to provide contact information and in some cases, such as .com.au domains, give enough information to establish that you a good claim to the use of that name.

Registration Fees

The cost of registration varies depending on the type of domain and the length of the registration period. The costs can range from $15-$150 per year. Please note that this cost is separate from any website hosting fees.

Name Management

You can manage your ongoing domain name registration, or we can do this for you. We charge a flat annual fee of $30 per year for most domain types ($15 per year for .org.au domains) to manage your domain name registration. This amount is billed at the same time as any annual hosting fees and means less paperwork and fewer worries about managing the domain yourself.
