Domain Name Disputes

Domain names are an essential part of any Australian business’s online presence and are important because they are often the first point of contact that a potential customer has with a business online.

The right domain name can also improve your search engine rankings and drive more traffic to their website. A domain name is central to establishing your online presence so that your businesses stand out in a crowded online marketplace.

By registering your domain name, this will help prevent others from using a similar name or engaging in cybersquatting, which is the practice of registering a domain name with the intent of profiting from its sale to the rightful owner.
