FAQs
What Is A Domain Name?
Domain names are used to identify the location of websites and emails across the internet. For example, our domain name at Enklo is enklo.com.au. We use this domain name for our website (https://enklo.com.au) and for all our email addresses (enquiries@enklo.com.au).
How Can A Domain Name Help Me?
By owning a domain name, people can start to developing trust for websites and emails addresses that use the domain.
For example, when you visit anz.com.au you can be sure that this is the ANZ website. And if you received an email from support@anz.com.au, you can also be sure that this email is from the same business.
Over time your domain will build authority online, which in turn will help your websites rank better on Google.
What Should I Look For In A Domain Name?
A domain name should closely match your business name and clearly be associated with this business – it is very clear that the mcdonalds.com domain name is associated with McDonalds.
Your domain name should also be short, memorable and avoids using hard to distinguish characters. The easier it is for your customers to remember or type out, the better. You are less likely to type a website wrong if it was localfive.com.au as opposed to localfivemechanicalaustralia.com.au.
Another big factor in choosing a domain name is the TLD (top level domain) – simply put, it is the “.com” or “.org.au” part of the domain.
Some other tips:
- Read your domain out loud to be sure it doesn’t accidentally misread.
- Avoid having a domain name too similar to someone else.
- Avoid using hyphens and numbers, this isn’t familiar to most people on the internet.
