Your website will have its very own website address, known as a domain name
When you purchase your familysite, we ask you to suggest some names, which we will then search for and check availability. Of course many names are already registered, but there are many many options. A candela Familysite consultant will contact you to suggest names for you to choose from
.com domain names are the easiest and most common names.
.com.au domains are for people who have a business registered in Australia which can take ownership of the name.
.id.au domains are for personal addresses in Australia
.net.au is another great alternative if other options are unavailable.
