Choosing the Perfect Domain
Keep It Simple
Choose a domain that’s easy to spell and remember. Avoid complex words or uncommon spellings to ensure your audience can easily find your site.
Go Local with .nz
Choosing a .nz domain helps your brand connect directly with New Zealand audiences, building trust and credibility in the local market.
Avoid Numbers and Hyphens
Numbers and hyphens can lead to confusion. For instance, users might not know whether to type “5” or “five,” or they may forget the hyphen altogether.
Make It Brandable
Your domain should reflect your brand. It should be unique and distinct, making it easy for users to associate the name with your business.
Check for Trademarks
Before finalizing a domain, ensure it’s not trademarked by another business. This avoids legal issues and ensures you can build your brand freely.
Think Long-Term
Choose a domain that can grow with your business. Avoid trendy words or phrases that might become outdated or limit your brand’s future expansion.
Test for Pronunciation
Say your domain out loud. If it’s hard to pronounce or doesn’t sound clear, it might confuse potential visitors when they hear it in conversation.
Use Keywords Wisely
Incorporate relevant keywords if possible, but don’t overdo it. A keyword-rich domain can improve SEO, but it should still be catchy and readable.
Check Availability on Social Media
Ensure the corresponding handles are available on major social media platforms. Consistency across your domain and social media profiles strengthens your brand identity.
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 would 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 the domain to fully propagate 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 rules.
What happens if I don’t renew my domain on time?
If you don’t renew your domain before the expiration date, it may go into a grace period where you can still renew it, but there may be additional fees. 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 good way to secure your domain for the 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, please note that while you have the ability to change nameservers, you currently do not have access to the HostMidas DNS manager. If you’re using HostMidas nameservers and need to make adjustments to DNS entries, you’ll need to open a support ticket in the client area, and our team will assist you with the changes.
