Getting your commercial website online is a three-fold process:

(1) Domain Registration .
(2) Domain Name Server hosting .
(3) Website hosting.



What is Domain name registration

Domain names eg. apple.com, ibm.com, abc.net.au must be registered before use just like when you register a business name or trademark.

In order to stop two people trying to use the same domain name, a network of domain registrars has been established around the world with varying jurisdiction. These registrars manage databases of who has the right to use what domain names, and have specific criteria you must meet before registering a domain name. eg. for registering a .com.au domain name, the name chosen must have a direct relationship with your registered Company / Business name. The .com .net .biz names are pretty much unrestricted (within reason), so long as the domain name des not contain offensive language, and does not infringe on the copyright/trademarks of others.
