Website & Email Hostingand Domain Nameswith local support
Website Hosting / Web hosting is like renting an office space
Hosting is the virtual space you rent for your website, so it’s available to your customers 24/7.
In technical terms, it’s your space on a big computer (a server) with fast internet that operates 24/7.
Domain Name / Just like an office or shop, your website needs an address
The address for your website is your domain name, like yourbusiness.com.au or yourbusiness.au.
For an Australian business, it’s best to have a domain name that ends in .au as this shows Google you are an Australian business.
If this sounds technical, it is! But lucky for you, we’ve been doing this for over 25 years (since before Google even existed), so we know how it all works and can look after you. We can register your domain name or even register a few domain names to protect your business so no one else grabs them. Then once your domain is sorted, we can host your website on our high-tech Australian servers located in secure data centres in Queensland and around Australia.

Not sure what to search? Get in touch and we can explore some options with you.
Watch out for upsells – Domain names don’t cost much but be careful, as many big providers like to upsell upsell upsell. So before you know it, you’ve got a long list of domain names and a bunch of other “related services” which sound important, but probably aren’t doing anything for you.
Explore a Range of Domain Extensions
In Australia, .com.au is the go to and gives you extra points in Google if you’re targeting Australian customers. There’s also the option to use .au on it’s own now.
If you’re targeting international customers, we can secure domain names for almost any country, like .uk for the UK or .co.nz for New Zealand. There are also broader options like .jp for Japan or .asia for multiple Asian markets.
If you don’t need a specific location, there are plenty of top-level domains like .com, .net, .org, or specialty ones like .shop, .life, and .events.
The first step is identifying your market. Talk to us, and we’ll help you find the best domain name for your business.

FAQs
Do I need website hosting?
Yes, your website needs space on a server somewhere so it can be accessed online.
I have hosting with another provider, can I use that?
Yes you can. If you already have hosting with another provider we can build you a new website and provide you the files etc so you can upload it to your hosting, or we can even upload it for you.
Are your servers in Australia?
Yes, our servers are in secure data centres in Brisbane and Sydney.
If I setup new email addresses will my old mail be transferred over?
We can help to migrate your email over to your new addresses so you have everything and don’t miss any emails.
Will my old email redirect to my new email address?
This depends on who provides your current email address. If you have a gmail.com address, there are settings to forward your mail to your new email address. If you have bigpond.com you can ask them to forward your email to your new email address. For other providers, you can typically ask them or look for settings in their system to configure a forwarding email address.
Can I access my email on my phone or tablet device?
Yes you can. It’s quick and easy to configure on mobile devices and we can help you out with getting it working.
Can I have multiple email addresses all go into the one mailbox?
Yes you can. If you have several email addresses under your domain we can set them up to all go to one mailbox so you don’t have to check separate accounts.
I already have a domain name, can you manage it for me?
Yes we can, if it’s .au we can transfer it for free, for other extensions we will need to renew it for an extra year when we do the transfer.
My previous web designer registered my domain name, can I still use that?
Yes, and you should! It’s usually best to keep the same domain name so Google knows you’re still the same business (although we can help transition you to a new domain name and maintain rankings in Google). If you’re not sure how to access it, we can do some research and help you figure it out and in most cases get control of your domain name.
I used to have a domain name but I'm not sure if it’s still mine…
We can look this up for you and see who owns it, and help you recover it if you can’t access it.
Can you register other country domain names?
Yes we can. Some countries have rules such as needing to have a presence in their country but we can explore those for you. Let us know the countries you’re targeting and we can take a look at options.
