    Are you selling cotton or linen sheets? I've been looking for linen sheets that are reasonably priced. They don't seem to exist. There is a big difference between cotton and linen.

    Google it once to see if its available, and make sure you don't do it again.

    @Vultures - mate, absolutely avoid domainregistrationservices - they are incredibly overpriced, and the customer service is inexistant.
    I recommend GoDaddy, they have a clean and easy to use interface. One of the massive bonus is that it's a well known American company and if you are setting up your online store with something like shopify or the like, your email with Zoho etc, they have instructions specific to GoDaddy, so setting up you whole environment is a breeze.

    Whatever you do, do NOT go with domainregistrationservices. I did it once, complete rip-off.

    Forgot to say: GoDaddy is very competitive on price too!

    Cotton, linen might be an option to introduce later. Maybe.
    Don't know what you consider reasonably priced as far as linen goes but I came across a store or two that had sheet sets in the $300-400 range, this is the lowest I've seen so far.

    www.inbedstore.com
    www.majorminorsydney.com

    Besides that there's one set that I could see at Pillowtalk for $330 (King). Don't know about the quality though.

    @Ouga thanks for that, I ended up going with Netregistry. You are right about domainregistrationservices being horribly overpriced, I was wondering what justified it but apparently nothing!

    $300 to $400 is very reasonable for Australia prices. I am looking at some Ebay linen sheets in Europe for about AUD$100 plus about $26 postage, but I have no idea of the quality. French linen seems to have a good reputation.

    Not too bad.
    The whole Holy Sheet thing's already been done.

    I've used crazydomains.com.au as well as godaddy.

    If you go for a domain which has a .com available as well as .com.au get the two.

    There are companies which trawl for .com.au domains without a .com - they get the .com and offer to sell it to you for an exorbitant price.

    The .com is already taken (parked) so I suspect someone's just sitting on it hoping to do just that.
    But I noticed some online stores just add "store" to the end of their name in the url. So I did that for the .com version as it was still available.

    I always just go for the .com version if I can.
