Cross off number 1

First on my to do list for my part-time home computer help business was registering a business name and a domain name. I was really only going to register the business name with the Department of Fair Trading so I could secure a .com.au domain name. Australian domain registrars are more restrictive than US registrars about the domain names they give out, they won't give you a .com.au domain name unless you have some sort of legal claim to it.

I've since found out though that it won't be necessary to register a business name since I already have a Pty Ltd company and can register an unrelated .com.au domain name as a service of that company.

So I can cross task number 1 off my list and save myself the $126 registration fee.
