A domain name is your unique address on the Internet. Like any address, it is important for the success of your business that you use, promote and protect it so that customers can find you easily. More than this, your domain name is your online identity and brand – your customers won’t just know you as Your Company Pty., they will know you as ‘yourcompany.com.au’.

The most common uses for domain names are for web site addresses – domain name is prefixed by ‘www’ – and email addresses – the domain name follows the ‘@’ symbol in the email address.

Australians feel more comfortable dealing with a local company and this is particularly important if you want to sell online. Getting a .com.au domain name lets your customers know you’re a legitimate Australian business.

The following are just several reasons why you should register your business or organisation domain name now:

Search Engine Rankings

With Cyberspace dominated by Google, Yahoo and Bing, having your own domain automatically places you higher in search engines for your name and in many cases on the first page, assuming you can secure your desired name. If you can’t secure a .com.au, then try a .com or even .net, .me, .tv, or .info. If you have a common name, then get a name that references your profession like www.redwidgets.com or www.redwidgetsbendigo.com. Secure it now before someone else does.

Professionalism

Having your own domain name and email address provides a higher level of professionalism and trust. If you have your own domain name vs. some long hotmail.com address it instils a higher level of integrity. If you are in marketing or tech it also shows you understand branding and technology and the value of SEO.

Brand Recognition and Recall

How much easier is it to remember yourname@yourname.com than Sam1234XGE@members.aol.com. More importantly, every email you send is your name. If people can recall your name when they think of a need they have, you are more likely to get a referral or a sale.

Same Email Address Forever

This one is a no brainer. You can keep your email forever even if you change your ISP or hosting provider. Your domain stays with you as long as you pay the registration/renewal fee every year. The other added benefit is that jobs may come and go, but your personal email address will always be the same.

Security

Even if you don’t plan to do anything with the domain other than redirect it to your Facebook profile, secure it so no one else can. Especially if that person could be some worthless celebrity, convict or questionable politician. Remember, very few people look past page one on Google.

Your Homebase on the Internet

If you ever decide to start you own blog or consulting business, you will have a URL you can immediately point your blog to and start promoting. Your blog becomes the hub of all of your social sites and drives everyone back to content you own forever. Don’t forget to of course back it up.

Just Google Me

Similar to number one, wouldn’t you love to tell folks to “Just Google Me”?

Establishing a web presence for your business or organisation can sometimes seem like a daunting process and so to simplify things, Bendigo Web Design includes the first years domain registration and hosting fees at no additional cost.
