For example <a href=\"http:\/\/nettl.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/nettl.co.nz\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1550689692158000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEFw8XBQQiLCHC5e3nBkAm-_Be34Q\">nettl.co.nz<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/google.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1550689692158000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHdcKJoG6PRsUqtcvqgghAE0DiiYw\">google.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>A domain name is the name of the website and follows the www. in a website address or the @ symbol in an email address.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Company website address: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\">www.nettl.com<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Company email address: <strong>contact@nettl.com<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When asking someone how to find you online, you always tell them your domain name. There are a large variety of domains, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">New Zealand based ones like <strong>.co.nz<\/strong> and <strong>.nz<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Generic based ones like <strong>.com<\/strong>, <strong>.org<\/strong> and <strong>.net<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">International based ones like <strong>.co.uk<\/strong> and <strong>.com.au<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Or quirky ones like\u00a0<strong>.photography<\/strong>, <strong>.pizza<\/strong> and <strong>.clothing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With such a large selection it can be difficult to choose sometimes! So, it&#8217;s important to note that the power of domain names goes beyond their ability to serve as an address to your website.<\/p>\n<p>Selecting the right domain name can have a very serious impact on your website and the success of your brand. At Nettl, we recommend our customers select a memorable domain name that can be applied multiple mediums easily, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NettlNZ\">www.facebook.com\/NettlNZ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/nettl-of-nz\">www.linkedin.com\/company\/nettl-of-nz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Where possible, select a domain name that you can purchase both <strong>.co.nz<\/strong> and <strong>.nz<\/strong>. Purchasing both domains acts similar like an insurance policy &#8211; preventing a possible competitor launching a website similar to yours with a similar website domain name.<\/p>\n<p>At Nettl, we redirect visitors who go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nettl.co.nz\">www.nettl.co.nz<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\">www.nettl.com<\/a>. We can redirect domains for your business too.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>How much do domain names cost? There are many businesses online to purchase domains from &#8211; all at different prices. Typically popular domains such as .co.nz or .com are more than quirky domains like .pizza<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So, when it\u2019s time to choose your own domain, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/find-a-studio\/\">pop in<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and see\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/find-a-studio\/\">your local Nettl<\/a><\/span>\u00a0team to discuss memorable and relevant domains for your business website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jpc18cqd-929a95583f3df9d337b6bbae7a0344c3\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jpc18cqd-929a95583f3df9d337b6bbae7a0344c3{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jpc18cqd-929a95583f3df9d337b6bbae7a0344c3 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-26q9rb-1a9f315a2dbe1f2e50ab0056d049c058 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><em>Watch our two Nettl NZ Geeks Zak &amp; Elliot present &#8216;What is a Website Domain?&#8217;&#8230;<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-video av-jpc0mokt-a0d70e8a413c9f364de35ee8bc892952 avia-video-4-3 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/vimeo.com\/318604966'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/318604966?app_id=122963&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&muted=0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"What is a Website Domain?\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Nettl Geeks Zak &#038; Elliot explain what is a Website Domain, why you need one &#038; how Nettl can help you choose the right domain for your website and your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,80],"tags":[82,69,61],"class_list":["post-6290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geeks-gabbing","category-websites","tag-domain","tag-nettl","tag-websites"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6290"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6315,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6290\/revisions\/6315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
