What is a domain name? To make this easy to understand you have to know two things. One that internet pages are accessed by numbers, very much like phone numbers generally we can remember names better than numbers. Therefore we give a name to a number and remember this as domain name.

Top Level Domains are considered to be (com, net, org) and Second Level Domains are domains such as (com.au, net.au, org.au )

Within Australian domains there are also few different 2LDs domains which are reserved and closed to public usage. Example of such domains are (edu.au, gov.au, csiro.au)

It is important to select domains in a appropriate manner, specially commercial domains. Registering domains according to the nature and name of the commercial entity. This will make domain system a more fair environment and will prevent and reduce the risk of conflict.
