A domain name, such as "dcsi.net.au" or "myfamily.com" can be thought of as your virtual identity. Like a fingerprint, a domain name once registered is unique to you and may not be used by anyone else.

Your own domain name is a powerful but simple way of reaching your audience; everyone from family and friends to potential clients - domains are effectively your personal link to the Internet. There are two main parts to getting your domain name online:

The registration process makes your domain unique to you, ensuring that nobody else can use it. Prices and restrictions vary depending on what top-level domain you choose (e.g. .net.au, .com, or .id.au)
