Domain Registration is Easy but Make Sure You Register With Someone Reputable like GTP

How to Register Your Domain Name

At GTP we make domain name registration easy.  All you need to do is tell us which domain names you want registered.  We can identify if the domain name is available, and if it isn't, help you come up with a viable alternative that will work for your business.  We can be contacted on 1300 856 533 or by email to support@gtp.com.au

You Need an ABN Number or Business Registration Number

Australian Domain names;  e.g. .com.au require an ABN Number so please have one of these or your business registration number if you don't have an ABN.

Why Use GTP for Domain Name Registration?

It is important to register and look after your domain name by renewing it every 2 years before the expiry date. Letting a domain name expire, even for a short time can be catastrophic for hard earned search engine rankings, and it disrupts your web site and email from the time it expires.

At GTP, we can help you avoid the disruption because all the domains that we register are managed under a single control panel and where renewals are required, we are alerted by email and we renew the domain name before it is too late. It's simple!

What Can Go Wrong?

What we commonly see where clients manage the domain name themselves is that they will change their email address sometime in the future after registering the domain name, and forget to tell their domain registrar. Therefore they do not receive the renewal notice. 

Or the company that initially registered the domain name for you is no longer around. This means the alerts are going to dead email addresses.

The first thing you notice is that no emails are coming in and then - shock horror, your web site has disappeared! Ouch - Not good for business.

When this happens we get a call and are often left with the job of tracking down the domain registrar and phoning in to renew the domain by credit card at a much higher price than it could have been renewed for prior to the domain expiring.

If you're like us and rely on your email then there will be 1-2 days at a minimum of productivity loss. Staff getting frustrated that they can't email clients or process order.  For a small premium, you are insuring yourself against this.

So the moral of the story is, you can do it yourself if you are organised and you make sure the email address you register with is changed whenever you change your email address.  If you are too busy running your business to remember to do this, then let us take the hassle away and organise your domain registration or renewal for you.
