Domain Name Search Before you go any further, you need to acquire a domain name. Aushosts has some of the cheapest domain names around. Ideally, your domain name should reflect your registered business name; or product or service you sell. For example; if www.mycompany.com.au isn't available, you could use www.mycompanyonline.com.au or another suitable variant. Once you have chosen the best name for your website and registered it, you then need to arrange a hosting package. Our hosting packages start from $6.95 a month!
