What is a domain name?

Think of a Domain Name as your voice and presence on the Internet, a unique electronic address where your web site is hosted and you receive e-mail. Some people like to think of their Domain Name as their cyber identity (.id.au Domain Names), cyber company (.com.au), cyber soap box (.asn.au/.org.au) or cyber networking solutions centre (.net.au).

The Domain Name www.ausregistry.com.au is an example of our .com.au commercial presence on the Internet. AusRegistry also has a .net.au domain which acts as the networking backbone for the AusRegistry company.
