How to register the perfect domain name for your business

Choose a Relevant Domain Name

For an effective website ranking, you should work slowly on website domain registration. Think about what makes a domain name relevant to your audience. You need to choose a domain name that makes sense. It should match the business name, service, product or topic that you want to promote online.

Keep it Short and Simple

As a general rule, it is easier to manage a short domain name rather than a long one. You want to make it easy for people to remember and type. It must be a unique domain name that isn’t already registered by another entity – this means you may not get your first preference. So be prepared to compromise on a final domain name choice.

Use the .com.au TLD (top-level domain)

Businesses operating within Australia are advised to use the .com.au TLD because it helps identify you as an Australian Business. You may qualify for other TLDs such as .edu.au (educational institution) or .org.au (not for profit organisation). This is a general rule for SMB. However many other TLDs do exist and may be suitable for your business.

DNS (Domain Name System) Management

How to manage your address on the Internet

Domain Nameservers

Your domain name is your address on the Internet. This is how people find your website and send you an email using yourname@yourdomain.com.au. You can register domains and control your DNS settings with Katana IT.

Update Your DNS Records

Our DNS dashboard is easy for you to access and manage yourself, or we can manage it for you. This is where your email, website, security and other services are connected to your domain name.

Domain Privacy

You can register for additional domain security and privacy, to help keep your domain and ownership details hidden from the public. Ask us how this works.

SSL Certificates & Secure Website Hosting

By today’s standards, every business website needs an SSL certificate and secure website hosting. This helps to protect the privacy of your website users and the integrity of your website’s database and files. Katana IT caters to small, medium and large technical businesses needing straightforward and robust web hosting services.

Website Hosting Essentials

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate

Your website browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari, for example) will tell you if a website is not secure. Additionally, antivirus programs may even block you from accessing sites without an SSL Certificate. Add an SSL Certificate to give your site the green tick of approval.

Website Hosting with Backups

Choose the right level of web hosting for you. With monthly or annual payment options available you can adjust your plan to suit you. Manage your hosted backups and get assistance with each step.

Firewall & CDN

For additional security and performance, you can opt for a firewall and CDN (content delivery network) to protect and safely distribute your data. With a firewall, you can control who has access to your site.
