If you are the do-it-yourself type you can register and manage your own .au domain names through the Web Works domain registrar mydomains.net.au. We supply .au domains from only $25.00 per year and .com domains from $33.00 per year.
When you register a domain name you will be sent an email with the details you will need to access your domain name control panel.
If you rather leave your domain management duties to the professionals who know what they are doing then the Web Works managed domain registration at $8.00 per domain per year is an optional extra that provide peace of mind professional support for your domain. With a managed domain you can simply ring us when you want to make changes.
You will need to set the correct DNS in order for your domain to work with your website and emails. Find out the DNS of the hosting server, for example if you were hosted on our #1 Web Works server the DNS is ns1.webworksau.com.au and ns2.webworksau.com.au but if you are hosted on our server #2 or #3 or #4 then your DNS would be different.
Your DNS settings are usually supplied on your hosting account details and these need to be set correctly in order to work. Once you know your correct settings you should log into domain management portal, find the DNS settings area and put them there.
Purchase our domain support plan for 1 year of unlimited support ONLY if you want help to manage your domain name or change DNS.
You can transfer your existing domain name over to Web Works domain registrar MyDomains.net.au. You will need a domain password and this would have been sent to you when you registered the domain.
If your domain name is a .au domain then first go to pw.auda.org.au and type in the domain name and the password will be emailed to the registered email address, otherwise you will need to do a whois on the domain, find out who the current registrar is and follow their steps to get it.
Getting hold of this password can sometimes be a real pain but there are a number of methods we can use.
You will need to purchase our web site support plan to put us on the job. We will try all the best tricks and tips to get your domain password but if we can not track it down for you then this item will be fully refunded, no questions asked.
If you already have a domain registered through Web Works then you will already have an account created at mydomains.net.au. Registrants can request access details any time.
When we manage a domain name for you the first thing we do is set the email address to ours to save you the registrant getting scammed by the shonky dealers out there. Being a public record spammers and scammers use your domain registration email address to send you all kinds of spam and scams trying to have you register your domain with them at highly inflated prices or registering similar sounding names as yours to trick you into buying. We change the contact email to ours to prevent these types of scammers and ensure all real domain notices are acted upon when required.
Once a domain falls out of management the contact email address will be changed back to the registrant’s email so keep your eyes out for the scams.
