A domain is your unique electronic address on the World Wide Web.  It is where your website is located and where you can email sent.

Choosing the correct TLD for your domain will ensure that you are reaching your intended audiences.  .au domains require and ABN and need to be related to your business activities.  .au domains need to be registered for a minimum of two years.

.com

Recommendations for Australian Businesses

If you are an Australian company targetting Australian consumers then it is important that your website is built on the .au TLD (top level domain) as this will assist with local search rankings.

It is recommended that you register the .com.au, .com, .net.au and .net for domain brand protection and have them redirected to the domain where your website is hosted.  This will prevent your competitors from purchasing these domain names and using your reputation to garner business.  It will also assist in making sure customers find your website through redirection if they type the wrong TLD into a website search.
