What is a Domain Name? A Simple Guide for NZ Businesses

Choosing a name for your online store is one of the most exciting first steps. But what about the website address itself—the domain name? It can seem technical, but the process is actually very simple. In this post, we'll explain what a domain is and how we handle it for you, hassle-free.

What is a Domain Name?

Think of a domain name (like yourbusiness.co.nz) as the street address for your business online. It’s the unique, memorable address people type into their browser to find your store. It’s your permanent home on the internet.

The .co.nz part is particularly important as it tells everyone—customers and search engines alike—that you are a proud local New Zealand business.
