The Domains

A domain name is basically an alpha-numeric name or address used to identify a computer.
Think of it as a phone number - except words instead of numbers. The most common reason for registering a domain name is if you want to build a web site - but is also required if you want to set up mail, ftp, or any other service where you need a unique address corresponding to your brand name.

Domain types available from eNames:
com.au  net.au  .id.au  .asn.au  .org.au  .com  .net  .org  .biz  .info

 

Domain Parking

Domain parking gives your domain a temporary home while you work out what you want to do with your domain name. Its similar to URL forwarding - but designed for those who don't actually have an existing website URL, and simply want a placeholder page.

Domain parking is FREE with all domains registered or renewed through eNames



URL Forwarding

URL forwarding lets you point your domain to your existing website without spending lots more on hosting. For example, if you registered the domain name mycompany.com, you make www.mycompany.com point to another URL - say, one hosted with your ISP - or even a free hosting service such as geocities.

The advantage of this, is that you can get rid of your long URL address, such as:
http://www.yourISP.com/users/yourname/
and replace it with your own brand. URL forwarding can also offer significant savings over traditional domain hosting. With our unique URL management facility, you can specify where to point your domain as well as providing a title and META tags for search engines. Our system is totally invisible to your visitors, we do not place any advertising on your web site. The URL forwarding features are accessible from the domain 'manage' menu.

URL Forwarding is FREE with all domains registered or renewed through eNames.
