As we mentioned when we launched our new website, the focus for this iteration was automation. Clients can now quickly and easily register any domain names they wish to purchase through our website.
Please Note: If you are registering a .au domain, you will need your ABN/ACN Number and ABN Entity Name/Business Name to complete the process, so please have these on hand.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to register a domain name through our website.
Visit our website homepage at https://www.digitaldevelopments.com.au
Click on the ‘Domains’ link from our navigation bar.
This will bring you to the main Domain Search Tool. This will very quickly tell you whether the domain name you are after is available for registering or it has already been taken.
In the field next to www. simply start typing the domain name you would like to register. Then to the right you can select the domain suffix (.com, .com.au etc.) using the drop down provided. Once you are done, click on the search icon or press the ‘Enter’ button on your keyboard.
You will be taken to a new page that tells you whether the domain name you chose is available or already taken. If the domain name was taken please repeat step 3 using the ‘Search for a Domain’ box at the top of the page, until you find a domain name that is available.
When you are happy with the available domain name you can select how long you would like to register it for using the drop down box next to it. All .au domain names can be register for 2 years only where as most other domain names can be registered for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. Once you have selected your registration period, click the ‘Order’ below.
