Email & Web Hosting

Once you’ve purchased your domain name (or transferred it into your Registration account) you can add email and web hosting so you can send and receive emails from your new professional domain brand and create your own website.

You can purchase Web Hosting here.

Web Builder

What happens if my domain is taken?

If your dream domain name is already taken, please register something that’s available to get started online. If you’re still wanting to keep an eye out for your dream domain name, you’ll need to join a “backorder” or domain “drop catching” service. 

This will allow you to upgrade to a premium domain name for your online business, as soon as it becomes available. With a premium domain name, you are investing in an unforgettable and intuitive web address that will enable your business to gain authority over the business category you belong to or the target market you cater to. You’re also distinguishing your online identity over and above your competition.

Here are the two ways you can watch or upgrade your domain name;

  1. Visit DropCatcher.com.au and register a new account and then you can enter the domain name you want to watch. As soon as your dream domain name becomes available, you’ll be notified before anyone else. Prices start from only $12.
  2. If the above sounds too time consuming, or you want a domain name that someone else already owns as quick as possible, you’ll need to contact DBR Domain Brokerage to have a professional domain name brokerage firm acquire your dream domain name.

The main advantage in checking your email via a web browser is there is no need to install or configure any email software on any computer you use.

Can I change ownership of a domain name?

You can. It’s called a “COR” or a “Change Of Registrant”. 

A COR is the process of transferring the ownership of a domain name ending in .au from one party to another. A transfer of ownership involves complete re-registration of the domain for 1 or 3 years with the receiving party/individual, who will need to meet the eligibility requirements to hold the registration of the domain. An administration fee applies for every COR.

You can perform a COR once you login and choose your domain name in the My Domains section of our console panel.

Can I auto-renew my domain name so I don't lose it?

What is domain auto-renewal?

We offer an “auto-renewal” feature to ensure your domains are renewed well before their expiry. This is to make sure that the domain remains active and does not affect services associated with the domain, and does not expire and become available for someone else to register.

How does auto-renewal work?

Simply view your domain name in your client console panel. Ensure the ‘auto-renew’ button is ticked. Auto-renewal works by renewing your domain 30 days before its expiry date. If you have auto-renewal turned on for your domain you will receive an email 30 days before we renew it, which is 60 days before the domain is set to expire. The next notification email will be to inform you that the renewal has been paid for and the domain has been renewed, 30 days before its expiry. Note that cancelling the auto-renew service does not entitle you to a refund for recently renewed domains.
