How to Choosing the right Domain for your Business Name or Domain Name

Write down all your business ideas and your favourite business names or descriptive words you are thinking of choosing or maybe something you will use on your future marketing strategy.

Below are a few popular Business Name EXAMPLES you may be familiar with that have stood the test of time !

Step 1: Brainstorm & Shortlist Creative Names

Write down all your business ideas, favourite 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

Then 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.

Next, narrow down your list by crossing out the ones you don't think will work and get your friends, family and business acquaintenances to help they love to give an honest opinion.

Try to be unique when Choosing the right Domain Name for your Business Name and Domain Name it will help when you build your whole story and Business brand and choose a name to endure longevity, like 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' enter your business name

(for this example I have used Doodoo Bags) funnily enough it is available!

Sometimes your business name may be too close to other business names and it will return 'unavailable' and there are a whole lot of other reasons you may not be able to register so best to check ASIC as you don't want to cut someone else's lunch or be disappointed.

However, if your 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 which is official and has been put together by the Australian Government.

Step 3: Register Your Domain Name

Your Domain Name is only an Online Address for your business website.

(The Domain name is just like a letterbox and the other name you may be familiar with is Website Hosting - this holds the Website Design, images and information and will come later and is just like your parcel of land where your House will sit with all it's content and images.)

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

• GoDaddy

• Crazy Domains

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 .06c for the 1st year what a bargain!
