Domain Extensions.com and .net

The .com and .net domain extensions are accessible to anyone, without restrictions. They are widely recognised internationally and are usually associated with international or American companies.

.org

The .org domain name extension is intended for charities and non-profit organisations.

.com.au

Most countries have a matching top-level domain name, under which domains are sold, such as .com.au, .net.au and .org.au. com.au is the most frequently used domain name extension for Australian businesses. About 80% of Australian domain names end in .com.au. It is the recommended first choice for businesses with a primarily Australian customer base.

Requirements for .com.au domains:

  • You need an ABN (Australian Business Number), ACN (Australian Company Number), BRN (state-based business registration number) or incorporation number to apply (i.e. you need to be an Australian company, registered business name or association).

  • Multiple .au domain names are now allowed, so you can have as many .com.au domains as you like, provided of course that each one meets the policy requirements.

  • The .com.au domain name(s) you register can be either an exact match of your business name or else a close abbreviation or acronym. In addition, you can register a domain name that relates to a product or service you provide, your profession, an event you run or sponsor, something you teach or train people in, a trademark you own, or an event you run.

  • .com.au domain names cannot be an exact match of an Australian place name.

Alternative domain extensions

.id.au

The .id.au domain extension is for individuals who are Australian citizens or residents.

.asn.au

The .asn.au domain extension is for incorporated associations, political parties, trade unions, sporting and special interest clubs.
