About
Farming Domains
Domain name trading and development — and a growing portfolio of Australian place and topic websites.
Farming Domains is the portfolio hub of Ian Piggott — independent publisher and domain developer — based on the Gold Coast and Tweed Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. With more than two decades in information technology and communications, he combines hands-on technical work with domain investment and long-term web publishing.
Since acquiring the first domain and launching a website in 2001, the focus has remained consistent: identify quality names, develop meaningful web presence where appropriate, and connect serious buyers with domains that strengthen their brand.
Core focus
The primary business is buying, selling, and developing domain names. A good domain paired with a professional website creates durable online real estate — an asset you control, independent of third-party platforms that can change terms or availability without notice.
Establishing your own brand, your own website, and a web presence you control is essential.
Regional portfolio of websites
Farming Domains is more than a domain marketplace. It is the hub for a growing regional portfolio of Australian websites — national park visitor guides, light rail and river topic sites, community and locality properties, and technology projects — developed as clear, practical pages that put place and theme first.
The traveller-facing hub for the park guides is nationalparksguide.com.au. Active examples include Long Flat, Helensburgh, Royal National Park, Springbrook, Blue Mountains, Sydney Harbour, Port Campbell, Great Otway, light rail and river projects, and domain-for-sale landers. Each property is built to serve its locality or theme, with Farming Domains providing domain strategy, development, hosting, and long-term stewardship. See the full index on the portfolio page.
Where a name is held for community or portfolio use, the emphasis is practical local value — archives, links, history, services, and information for residents and visitors. Where a premium domain is offered for acquisition, a professional lander connects serious buyers with a name that already has clear brand and regional context.
Ian Piggott
Independent publisher & domain developer (Farming Domains) · computer sales & service · Gold Coast.
Ian publishes this portfolio under Farming Domains and runs computer sales and service businesses on the Gold and Tweed Coast. He has worked in information, communication, and technology for more than 25 years — domains, web, and the unglamorous work of keeping machines and sites running. More about him (including Helensburgh local history and personal writing) on ianpiggott.com/about.
Technology & business
Day to day, Ian provides practical IT support and consultation on the Tweed Coast and Lower Gold Coast — computer sales, networks, security, and plain-English help for home users and small businesses (Computerlife, Gold Coast Computers).
Farming Domains sits alongside that work: curating premium Australian and international domain names, developing landers and portfolio sites where appropriate, and connecting buyers through Sedo or direct enquiry. Publishing place and topic websites (including the independent national park guide network) is part of the same long game — real sites, clear limits, long-term stewardship.
Beyond the screen
Outside domain work and IT, Ian writes on ianpiggott.com — personal notes on drums, technology, whisky, car detailing, and rebuilding websites with modern tools. He enjoys urban exploring, nature hikes through Australia's landscapes, and local history projects across the portfolio. At home on the Gold Coast he shares life with his wife and Ollie, their cavoodle.

“We become what we think about most of the time.” — Earl Nightingale
Today, Farming Domains serves as both a marketplace for premium names and the public face of that regional website portfolio — geographical, community, and technology themes developed primarily across New South Wales and Queensland.
