  • What is a domain name and why do I need one?

    Think of a domain name as your address on the internet.  It's super important because it helps you stand out online as a business, organization, or just as yourself. You need what website address to make a good impression online, build up your brand, and advertise what you're selling. Plus, having a domain name lets you make personalized email addresses and gives you a place to put up a website, email accounts or other online services. 

  • Title or question

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • How do I choose a domain?

    When thinking about picking a domain, you should have a few things at the front of mind:

    1. Location - think about where your target market is. Are all your clients New Zealand based? Go for a .co.nz domain name to help jump up the NZ search results. Focussed more globally? Then .com might the option for you.
    2. Identity - could someone else recognise the domain as linked to your company/project? You want something that clearly identifies your brand.
    3. Searchability - for a new site, your domain is the first shortcut up the search engine rankings. Thinking about having a domain that describes what you do. For example, for us, that means hosting our site on 543websitedesign.co.nz (to make sure we really hit the search rankings for website design well).
    4. Ease of use - lastly, try to get a domain that you are able to use easily in the context of your business. For example, if you are using a domain for email addresses, you may want something short and easy to spell out. Whereas if you are only using it for search rankings, maybe a longer domain name is fine. At 543 we run two versions of our domain - one for the website (543websitedesign.co.nz) which is targetted at search rankings, and a shorter one (543.co.nz) for email accounts.

    Once you've locked in a domain name idea, just click through to our domain search tool, find if it's available and purchase it!

  • What's the difference in hosting?

    Different services will end up needing different hosting options. A WordPress website for example may need slightly different hosting services and limits than a basic html website. The same goes for emails, you may want a service with a large amount of storage space, or possibly the use of a Microsoft email exchange server.


    Have a look through our dedicated domains and hosting website to find the service that matches what you need the most closely.

  • What hosting services do I need for a 543 DIY site?

    The beauty of our DIY website builder is that the hosting and security certificate is all included within the monthly fee you pay through the editor. That means you don't need to worry about manual platform or security updates, and as soon as you publish your site, the hosting will be taken care of.


    The only thing you may need for your site is a custom domain (and possibly email hosting if you'd like to have custom emails as well). You can grab these at our DIY domains and hosting site, or you can get in touch with us if you'd like a hand putting the site live.

  • How do I search for a domain name?

    Simply head to our domain name search bar, check domain availability and lookup with the perfect domain name is available. If your desired has already been registered by someone else, just try another keyword relevant to your online business and search again to find a unique domain you can consider registering. If you are struggling have a google for a domain name generator and see what that comes up with.
