Domain Registration

Shell Graphix provide both Australian and International domain name registrations as well as quality and affordable website hosting plans to help get your business online.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is a name or identifier that allows people to find your website or business on the internet. Typically, your domain name would be similar to your business name or a product that your business offers. Domain names may only contain alpha-numeric characters and words may be separated by a period. You never really 'own' a domain, but rather pay a registration fee to reserve the use of that name while your registration is current. If you allow your domain registration to lapse, your domain will expire and will be available for purchase once more.

Why do I need a domain name?

A domain name gives your business a recognisable identity on the internet. A domain name will allow you to setup customised email addresses for your staff, or if you are just running a small business, you can create aliases to portray a larger business operation. A domain name is like a PO Box, it is a static address, that is accessible all over the world and serves as a central point of contact for your business.

How do I register a domain name?

A domain name can be registered through companies called 'registrars'. The domain name must not yet be taken and it must conform to the conditions set forth by the governing body of the particular name space. There are certain restrictions on registering Australian domain names and more information can be found here. .com domains can generally be registered by anyone and a business name is not usually required. There are of course restrictions imposed on all domain names preventing the use of common place and offensive names etc.

Shell Graphix can register a domain on your behalf with our accredited registrar. For more information, please contact us.
