So if you are thinking of getting a website designed, here are answers to some frequently asked questions, which you may have wanted to ask:
1. What is a domain name?
A domain name is like a street address or telephone number. The domain name points visitors to you on the Internet. The domain by itself is not your email or web address. The domain name, however, forms the base from which these addresses are derived.
For example:
Company Name: Websites 4 Small Business
Domain Name: web4business.com.au
Web Address: http://www.web4business.com.au/
Email Address: info@web4business.com.au
2. Do I need to register a domain name to have a website?

30 ways to promote your website on a shoestring budget - Part 16
16. Office Stationery & Merchandising Materials
It is extremely important that your website is included on ALL your office stationery so that customers can see it over and over again. That way they are more likely to remember it. If you’ve just had your letterheads printed, you can always add your website address on your wordprocessor, when printing your correspondence. For brochures, business cards etc, consider having small labels printed up. Your office stationery should include not only your website address, but also your email. Consider adding your details to:
- Letterheads
- Business Cards
- Flyers
- Brochures
- Labels
- Packaging
- Merchandise bags
- Catalogs
- Invoices
- Fax headers
- Display units

30 ways to promote your website on a shoestring budget - Tip 11
11. Domain Name
Your domain name represents one of the most important decisions you have to make in going online. The purpose of a domain name is similar to that of a street address or telephone number. The domain name directs customers to you on the Internet. The most popular domain names in Australia are “.com.au” and “.com”.
Ideally your domain name should be rich in keywords (words relating to your business) to ensure on-line success, especially with search engines.
If for example, you are a florist based in Sydney, it would be preferable for you to have one of the following domain names:
www.sydneyflorist.com.au
www.florist.com.au
www.sydneyflowers.com.au
You will, however, find that generic names such as the above are already taken. In that case, register something like:
www.cindysflowers.com.au
www.sydneyflowersandgifts.com.au
If your business name is for example “Jim & Sons”, ensure you include a description of what you actually do, eg.
www.jimandsonscarpetcleaning.com.au or
www.jimscarpetcleaning.com.au
