Choosing the Perfect Domain
Keep It Simple
Choose a domain that’s easy to spell, pronounce, and remember. Avoid complex words, unusual spellings, or confusing phrasing — clarity wins clicks.
Go Local with .nz
A .nz domain instantly connects your brand to New Zealand audiences. It builds trust, supports local SEO, and reinforces your Kiwi identity.
Avoid Numbers and Hyphens
These often cause confusion. Users may not know whether to type “5” or “five,” and hyphens are easily forgotten — keep it clean and intuitive.
Make It Brandable
Your domain should reflect your brand’s personality. Unique, memorable names stick — and help users associate your domain with your business.
Check for Trademarks
Before registering, search for existing trademarks. This protects you from legal issues and ensures you can build your brand freely.
Think Long-Term
Avoid trendy buzzwords that may age poorly. Choose a domain that can grow with your business and adapt to future offerings.
Test for Pronunciation
Say it out loud. If it’s awkward or unclear, it might confuse users when shared verbally — especially in podcasts, meetings, or ads.
Use Keywords Wisely
Keywords can help with SEO, but don’t sacrifice readability. A keyword-rich domain should still sound natural and be easy to remember.
Check Availability on Social Media
Consistency matters. Make sure your domain name is available as a handle on major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund after purchasing a domain?
No — once a domain is registered, it cannot be refunded. Domain registration is a final purchase, so please ensure your domain choice is correct before completing the transaction.
Can I change or rename my domain after registration?
Unfortunately, once a domain is registered, it cannot be changed or renamed. If you need a different domain name, you’ll need to register a new one.
How long does it take for my domain to become active?
Most domains become active within a few minutes to a few hours after registration. However, it can take up to 24–48 hours for full DNS propagation across the internet.
Can I transfer my domain to another registrar?
Yes — you can transfer your domain to another registrar after a 60-day period from the registration or last transfer date, depending on the TLD’s rules.
What happens if I don’t renew my domain on time?
If you don’t renew your domain before its expiration date, it may enter a grace period where renewal is still possible — though additional fees may apply. If not renewed, the domain could eventually be released and made available for others to register.
Can I register a domain for more than one year?
Yes — you can register a domain for multiple years, depending on the TLD. This is a great way to secure your domain long-term and avoid the hassle of annual renewals.
Can I update my domain’s nameservers?
Yes — you can update your domain’s nameservers anytime from the client area. However, if you’re using HostMidas nameservers and need to adjust DNS records, please open a support ticket. Our team will assist you with any changes, as direct access to the DNS manager is currently restricted.
What if I need an extension that’s not listed on your site?
