You must select a Domain
Name (www.yourcompany.com). Your domain name
is an easy to remember web address that people
type into the address bar of their browser to
be brought to your web site. If you don’t
have a domain name already, you will want to
register it as soon as you find it is available.
For the best results, your domain name should
be transferred onto your Web host’s servers.
If you already own a domain name, you will want
to initiate the domain name transfer after placing
your order.
Hostway makes it easy for you to handle your
domain name registration. You can check to
see if the Domain Name you want is available
right on our home page. Once you find it,
you can go directly to our online order form
and register your domain name at the same
time you order your Web hosting plan.
If you already have an existing domain name,
you just need to transfer it over to our servers.
This service is free. In most cases, we can
initiate the domain name transfers onto our
servers and you can just confirm the transfer
with your registrar. Please visit www.hostway.com.au
for more info.
Your domain name should be simple for visitors
to recall and distinguishable from other sites.
It is a good idea to choose a name that directly
relates to the type of business you own. Your
Domain Name is like hanging a sign on the
front door. For example, if you own an antique
shop, named Angie’s Antiques, it is
logical to name your site, www.angiesantiques.com.
This makes it almost effortless for potential
visitors to guess your Domain Name and visit
your site.
It is also a good idea to register many similar
domain names and set them as domain aliases
to your web site. For example, someone might
type in www.angiesantiqueshop.com, or www.angiesantiquestore.com,
and their browser will automatically point
them to your Web site at www.angiesantiques.com.
If you are not yet ready to build a Web presence,
but have an idea in mind for a Web site, you
should still register the Domain Name of your
choice. This way you are guaranteed that name
and nobody else can select it.If you are not
yet ready to build a Web presence, but have
