If your website mainly caters to
the New Zealand market, then a .co.nz Domain
Name is the more preferable choice. This is because
.nz domains are well recognised
in the New Zealand Market. |
|
If your website mainly caters to the International
Market, then a .com Domain Name,
would be the more preferable choice, as .coms
are more widely recognised in the International
Community |
|
If both .co.nz and .com domain
names are available, we would recommend that
you register them both. |
|
The best domain names are short, easy to remember,
and difficult to mis-spell. |
|
Avoid using hyphens within the domain name.
(the dash symbol -) |
|
Avoid unusual spellings in your domain name,
(e.g. supa instead of "super"), unless
you already have a strong brand using this
spelling. |
|
Even if your company is not planning to set
up a website or use the domain for email services,
you should still register your companies domain
as soon
as you
can, to
protect
your companies future online identity. As domain
names can be registered by anyone, this means
someone else could potentially register your
domain if
it
hasn't already been registered. To get the domain
back off them could prove difficult, and may
mean going to court, or paying the registrant
to buy the domain back off them. Therefore we
recommend that all companies
protect their online identity by registering
their domain name as soon as you can. |
|
We recommend if you
can, registering any generic domain names that
are associated
with your companies line of work. eg. www.builder.co.nz
for a builder. It is however unlikely that
generic domain names will still be available
for .com domains, due to their popularity. |
| |
Beware of domain companies who offer unbelievably
cheap domain registration prices. Some of these
may register the domain name in their companies
name, and if you want the domain back, they will
charge you a large fee for transferring the domain
name into your name. |
