Welcome to Two Minute Tuesdays. This is Jacki Kearslake from Dental Web Strategies and today we’re going to look at domain names and where you need to go to to buy a domain name for your Australian Dental Practice.

Whilst I have my favourite Australian domain registrar, in Australia we are lucky: there’s a huge choice of places you can go to buy your domain name for your Australian Dental Practice.

We’ve spoken before about how important it is to have a [dot] com [dot] au domain extension. People here in Australia trust a .com.au domain because it clearly identifies the business as being a legitimate Australian business.

Where do you go to register your domain name?

The best place to start is to go to the website of Australia’s domain administration body, .AUDA. On this site you’ll find a list of all of the accredited registrars here in Australia.

At the time of recording there are 39 organisations that are auDA accredited registrars. This means that they are authorised by the auDA to provide services related to the registration, renewal or alterations to Australian domain names..

It’s important to know that Australian domain names vary in price, and this is primarily a commercial decision of the registering organisation. You will be able to register your domain name for as little as 10AUD for a 2-year registration: some of the registering organisations charge as much as $140 for a 2-year registration.

Our favourite domain registration sites are VentraIP, Netregistry and GoDaddy.

If you need any help, make sure you give us a call because at Dental Web Strategies, we’re here to help Australian Dental Practices become visible online.
