Frequently Asked Questions
What domain extensions can I register with Honcho?
Honcho allows you to search and register a wide range of domain extensions including .com.au, .au, .net.au, .com, .net, .co and many more. Whether you’re targeting customers in Australia or globally, you can secure a domain name that suits your business and brand.
Do I need an ABN to register a domain name?
An ABN is generally required when registering Australian domain names such as .com.au, .net.au and .au, as these must be linked to a valid Australian business. However, international domain extensions like .com and .net do not require an ABN and can be registered by individuals or businesses worldwide.
How do I access and manage my domain DNS settings?
Once your domain name is successfully registered, you will receive a confirmation email with your access details. You can manage your DNS settings through the domain console, including connecting your domain to a website or email. If you need assistance, our support team is available to help guide you.
How long do DNS changes take to update?
DNS changes can take effect within minutes, but full global propagation may take up to 24 to 48 hours depending on the update and network conditions.
Should I choose a .com.au or .au domain name?
.com.au is a widely recognised and trusted domain for Australian businesses, often associated with credibility and professionalism. .au is a shorter and more modern option that is easier to remember. Many businesses choose to register both to protect their brand and maintain a consistent online presence.
What happens after you secure a domain name?
Once you've secured your domain name, you've taken the first step toward building your online presence. Your domain becomes your digital address, giving you a foundation to create a professional and credible business online.
From there, you can set up a professional email using your domain, build a website to showcase your products or services and create a logo that reflects your brand. You can also display your domain on business cards and marketing materials, making it easier for customers to find and remember you.
You may also choose to list your business on platforms like Google Business Profile, helping people discover and contact you online. With Honcho, everything is designed to work together seamlessly, so whether you're just getting started or building something bigger, your domain supports your next steps and beyond.
