 The information about your domain name will also be saved by your browser, your email program, your computer and sometimes even your modem. If you are adding a new domain name to your store, we recommend rebooting your computer before testing your new domain name. If that fails, you may also need to reboot your modem. If both these measures fail, then you may need to wait 24 to 72 hours before being able to access your new domain.
-If you are adding a new domain to your store, you will also need to wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before the changes are added to our web servers. All web server updates are batched to minimize the impact on our stores as domain names are added and deleted through normal store maintenance.

 By using a country specific  top level domain (ccTLD) such as '.com.au' you are sending a strong signal to the search engines that your business or website is based in Australia,  and therefore your website is more likely to appear in the search results when searched for by users located in Australia.
-If on the other hand you wish to target several countries, then using a country code TLD is not the best option. Instead we suggest using a generic TLD such as '.com' or '.net' that does not have any specific country/region associated with it.
