Not sure where to start? 

Here are some need to knows!

Should I purchase multiple Domain Extensions?

Yes.

If you are buying a .com.au, we would recomend also purchasing the .com and .au versions.

Doing so can help protect your brand from potential misuse or domain squatting by others. This prevents competitors or malicious actors from capitalising on your brand’s reputation.

It also ensures that your customer ALWAYS land in the right place. 

Should I register my Domain Name now or later?

Even if you’re still ironing out the details, if you registered an ABN –  purchase the Domain Name ASAP.

Cybersquatters often hunt out names of businesses who havent registered their Domain Name. 

This could leave you in a situation where you are required to purchase a less than ideal domain name or are forced to purchase it off the squatter for a largely inflated price.

How do I avoid Trademark Issues?

Ensure that your chosen domain name doesn’t infringe on existing trademarks. Conduct a trademark search to avoid potential legal complications in the future.

Do not use a Domain Name that seeks to trick a person searching for a closely related business. For example adding ‘the’ to the front of an existing Domain Name to emulate another business.
