Getting started with your website (full article)
No, you don't need a domain name to set up your website with MYOB Atlas. When you sign up, you'll be provided with a temporary domain name. And during the setup wizard (or at any time after), you can register a domain name. For more information, see Registering domain names.
Web hosting refers to a service in which your website is hosted on the internet for you. Usually when you set up a website you need to pay a service provider for web hosting, so that your site is uploaded to their server and made accessible to the public.
In MYOB Atlas, web hosting is included with your website, which means you don't need to organise it separately.
No, you can't change the temporary domain name (or subdomain name) that you receive when you set up your website.
However, this temporary domain name is just to get you started with your website. If you don't want to use it to access your website, you can register a domain name, and then make sure it's set as your primary domain name. Or, if you've registered domain names with a registrar other than MYOB, link these domain names to your website, and then set one of these as your primary domain name.
You can click the Back button at the bottom of each step of the setup wizard to go back to the previous step and edit your details. Alternatively, you can leave them as they are and edit them after you complete the setup wizard.
After you've completed the setup wizard and gone live with your site, you'll be able to get your free domain name by clicking Get free domain name in the Things to do toolbar. For more information, see Registering domain names.

Registering domain names (full article)
Your domain name registrar is the company who you registered your domain name through. They're responsible for updating your registrant details and renewing your domain name when it expires.
It may take up to 24 hours for a domain name to be registered. After this time, you'll be able to use it to access your MYOB Atlas website.
To check the status of your domain name registration, click My domain names in the Settings toolbar, then check the status next to the domain name in the Domain names purchased through MYOB section. If it shows 'Pending registration', the registration is still being processed.
If you don't receive your verification code by SMS within a few minutes, you can either click the Use a different phone number button to try a different phone number, or you can contact MYOB Atlas by submitting a Domain name enquiry form.
As the owner of your business and your MYOB Atlas website, you own the license to your free .co.nz domain name (and all other domain names that you register through MYOB Atlas) for the period of time specified in your license. MYOB is your domain name registrar, and is responsible for updating your registrant details and renewing your domain name when it expires.
MYOB Atlas offers you one free .co.nz domain name for one year per business. However, you can purchase an unlimited number of additional domain names through MYOB Atlas.
Click My domain names in the Settings toolbar, then check the expiry date next to your domain names in the Domain names purchased through MYOB section.
Top-level domain names (such as .com, .org and .net) and second-level domain names (such as .co.nz and .net.nz) can be registered for a period of 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 years.
You can renew your domain names at the end of each registration period.
It will cost you $30 a year (inc GST)* to renew each domain name.
* This price is accurate at the time of writing.
If a problem occurs while registering or paying for your domain names, you'll receive an email with the relevant details.
The registrant contact information for your domain name is the information that your domain name registrar (the company who you registered your domain name through) uses to contact you, the registrant. If your domain name is registered with MYOB Atlas, your registrant contact information-including your registrant email address-will be the same as the contact information for your MYOB Atlas account (that is, the contact information MYOB Atlas uses for all communications with you).
To update this contact information, click My account on the Settings menu, then click Edit account information in the Account information section and make your changes.
This will update both your registrant contact information (for any domain names registered with MYOB Atlas) and the contact information for your MYOB Atlas account.
