Registering Your Domain Name

Your domain name will be the home of your new online business, so it's important that you spend some time to come up with one you're happy with.

If you haven't registered your domain name, you can do so when you sign-up for your ShopFrontPro account. If you've already registered your domain name, you can point it to your ShopFrontPro store.

Things You'll Need to Get Started

• A registered business name
• An Australian Company Number (ACN) Australian Business Number (ABN) or Business Registration Number (BRN)

Domain Name Registration FAQ's

Can I register more than one domain name?
Yes.
In fact, we recommend registering your domain name in multiple extensions (.com, .com.au, etc)

By registering your domain in multiple extensions, you can:

• Point all domain names to your store; and
• Prevent competitors from registering a similar domain and hijacking your customers

Does my domain name need to be the same as my business name?
No. In the past, the domain name you registered had to be identical to your business name. This is no longer the case, so for example - if you're business name is Bill & Jane Cabinet Makers, you could register billandjanecabinetmakers.com.au or cabinetmakers.com.au

Should I register a .com or .com.au?
If you're selling to primarily Australian customers, we recommend registering the .com.au
If you're selling internationally, we recommend registering the .com

If the both extensions are available for your chosen name - we recommend grabbing both.
