How to Choose the Right Domain for Your Business Name or Domain Name

Start by writing down all your business ideas and your favorite business names or descriptive words. Consider what you might use in your future marketing strategy.

Below are a few popular Business Name EXAMPLES that have stood the test of time!

Step 1: Brainstorm & Shortlist Creative Names

Write down all your business ideas, favorite words, or future marketing slogans. Use themes that endure, such as:

• Nicknames: Macca’s

• Family names: Haigh’s Chocolates

• Colours: Red Bull

• Shapes: Square

• Food: Apple

• Pop words: Shazam

• Key phrases: Bank of South Australia

• Trending topics: Instagram

  
  

Next, cross off anything confusing or too close to competitors. Ask friends or customers for honest opinions. A unique name will help your brand story last 10–20 years or more.

Narrow down your list by eliminating names you don't think will work. Friends, family, and business acquaintances love to give honest opinions.

Try to be unique when choosing the right Domain Name for your Business Name and Domain Name. This will help when you build your whole story and business brand. Ask yourself: will it still sound great after 10 or 20 years?

Step 2: Check Business Name Availability

Before registering, make sure your chosen name is available:

• Search the ASIC Business Name Register to see if it’s taken.

• If available, register your name and ABN via the official Australian Government site. This avoids infringing on other businesses and protects your brand from day one.

  
  

Select the 'check business name availability' option and enter your business name. For this example, I used Doodoo Bags. Funnily enough, it is available!

Sometimes, your business name may be too close to other business names, resulting in an 'unavailable' status. There are many reasons you may not be able to register, so it’s best to check ASIC. You don't want to cut someone else's lunch or be disappointed.

However, if you’re lucky enough—like my example Doodoo Bags—it will show 'is currently available'. ✅

Now you can register your business name and ABN by following this helpful guide: Register your business. This guide is official and has been put together by the Australian Government.

Step 3: Register Your Domain Name

Your Domain Name is simply an online address for your business website. (The Domain name is just like a letterbox. The other name you may be familiar with is *Website Hosting—this holds the Website Design, images, and information. It will come later and is just like your parcel of land where your house will sit with all its content and images.

A couple of popular longstanding Australian Domain Registrars to search and register your Domain Name include:

• GoDaddy

Don’t wait too long—good names get snapped up fast. Expect to pay $18–$30 per year, less if you register for multiple years. GoDaddy currently has Domain Names available for just 6 cents for the first year—what a bargain!
