The right domain name, registered properly.
Registration, transfers and honest advice on choosing a name your Wollongong customers can find and remember.
Your domain is a business decision, not a checkout step.
Getting it right at the start is cheap. Untangling it later is not. These are the three we untangle most.
Registered in someone else's name
A marketing company holds the registrant details, so you cannot move it without their cooperation.
A .net.au nobody types
Customers default to .com.au. Anything else needs explaining every time you say it out loud.
Three near-duplicate domains
Nobody remembers which one is the real site, and the traffic splits between them.
We help you choose well: a .com.au your customers expect, a name that still makes sense if you add a second service or a second location, and registration details in your name, always.
- .com.au
- .au
- .net.au
- .org.au
- .com
- .net
- .org
- .co
What we handle.
Registration is the easy part. The rest is what people actually ring us about.
New registrations
.com.au, .au, .com and the rest, registered correctly to your ABN and your details.
Transfers and untangling
Getting domains back from old developers, former partners or expired accounts. We do this more often than you would think.
Renewal management
So a missed email never takes your website and email offline.
DNS management
The technical records behind your website and email, changed carefully, because a wrong DNS change is an outage. Mail records are DNS records too, so if you are moving email we handle both ends at once.
Business ITExtra domains done sensibly
Sometimes protecting a second spelling is worth it. Buying twelve domains "for SEO" is not, and we will say so.
Domains and hosting are usually one conversation. See hosting.
Domain questions we get every week.
Short answers to the things that cost businesses the most when they get them wrong.
Should a Wollongong business use .com.au or .com?+
For a local business, .com.au. Australian customers trust it and expect it, and you need an ABN to hold one, which itself signals legitimacy. Grab the .com as well if it is free, and point it at the same site.
Does having "Wollongong" in a domain help SEO?+
Less than it used to, and a keyword domain is no substitute for a good site. It can still help people recognise instantly that you are local. What matters more is what is built on the domain.
My old web company owns my domain. What do I do?+
Act on it now, while relations are civil. We regularly recover domains for business owners and move them into their own names. The longer it is left, the harder it gets, especially if that company disappears.
What happens if my domain expires?+
Your website and email stop, and after a grace period the name can be bought by anyone, including competitors and squatters. Renewal management exists so this never happens to you.
One team for the whole job.
