Which Domain Name is best for me?
Which domain name you choice is dependent on you and your business
however keep in mind that a .com (.net .biz .info) are international
domain names and .com.au (net.au etc) are Australian domain names
which require an ABN to register and are governed by AUDA Regulations.
Remember to keep you domain name as short as possible so people
can remember it easily but at the same time is a refection of your
Business Name
What do I need to register a Domain Name?
For International domain names eg .com, .net you require a contact
name, address, phone, and email address.
To register an Australian Domain Name eg .com.au , net.au you are
required to have Registered Business which will entitle you to a
ABN, ACN etc. AUDA is the governing body for Australian Domain Names
and it is the body that approves any new domain name registrations.

AUDA Website here.
Domain Name Renewal
If you have purchased a hosting package with Hosting Impact and
we registered your domain name for you we will renew your domain
name each renewal period upon hosting package renewal.
If you had your Domain Name before hosting with Hosting Impact
you are wholly responsible for the renewal of your domain name unless
you transfer the domain name to one of Hosting Impact Registrars
which enables us to be notified when the domain names are due for
renewal.
