A domain name is a unique name used to identify and locate your website on the internet. Once you have chosen a domain name you also have a choice of extensions, most common are the .com and .net extensions. For country specific domain name extensions like Australia's .com.au, you are required to have a matching registered business name. Acronyms and abbreviations are also accepted.
You can currently register .com.au, .net.au, .org.au, .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .us domain names with Ipera Communications. Note that there are some unique requirements for registering a .com.au domain, which you can read more about here.
Domain names are going at a rate of more than 200,000 a month. Registering your domain name now ensures your ownership of the domain name that may not otherwise be available when you want it. Once registered, that domain name is yours (provided that the registration and renewal fees are paid each year). You can hold onto it, use it, sell it or lease it. Ipera Internet will store your domain name on our servers free of charge until you are ready use it.
While a domain name is not necessary to have a website, it is recommended. Whether you are creating a family website or a business website, having a domain name allows your site to be more easily found and remembered.
Your domain name is registered in your name. So long as it has active DNS entries, all the required fees are paid and it's not in breach of any law, nobody else can either use it or take it without your consent. The same with Australian domain extensions where an RBN or ABN is required to register.
