A domain name is the unique name that identifies your internet site. For example, the domain name of this website is ‘webmistress.com.au’
When you register a domain name through Webmistress, we’ll do the following:
- Ensure the domain you have selected is appropriate for your organisation and advise what alternative names to buy, if any
- Explain the policy requirements and register your domain in your personal name (individuals) or your company’s name
- Provide you with your domain password
- Manage your domain, including all settings for the website, email etc, for you while it’s hosted by Webmistress
- Provide you with complimentary DNS hosting and keep all settings up to date
- Send you an invoice when it’s time to renew your registration
What information do we require from you?
To register a domain name for your organisation we require:
- the organisation’s name and ABN
- contact details (name, email, address, telephone, fax)
What if I want to register my domain name myself?
There are a lot of domain name sellers out there – some good, some not so reliable. We are happy for you to independently register your domain names through a third party provider, however many years of experience has shown us that registering domain names in this way can lead to domain names accidentally expiring or passwords getting lost.
If you choose to manage your own domain name you must:
- ensure you have on hand the login details for that domain name
- be comfortable making technical domain name setting changes yourself
Please note that all time dealing with support, configuration or any issues with domain names that were not registered through Webmistress is billable. If your domain name is registered with us this support is included.
