Registration Rules

 

In Australia a .COM.AU domain name can serve as a good URL for your business, however globally registering of a .COM is the dominant domain name. You may find it advantageous to register your International, as well as your Australian domain names.

 

.com.au & .net.au

 

To own a .com.au or .net.au you must be an Australian registered company, or business with a registered business number (ABN, BRN, BN).

The domain name you order should either be an exact match, acronym or abbreviation of the supplied business registration, or it should bear a close and substantial connection to the domain name. For example, pivot+design would be reasonably entitled to own:

www.pivotplusdesign.com.au

www.pivotplus.com.au

Domains can be 2 to 63 letters, and words can be separated by hyphens, but not spaces.

 

.au.com, .com, .biz, .net, .info, .org

 

These domain names are not restricted or regulated by .au Policy Rules. Anyone can register one of these domain names.

 

.org.au & .asn.au

 

To qualify for these domains your organisation must be a "non-commercial organisation".

 

.id.au

Especially designed for individuals, who reside in Australia. You may register ANY personal name by which you are known.
