Domain Names.au Domain name Requirements

.au domain names must:

  • exactly match the name of your business; or

  • be an acronym or abbreviation of the name of your business; or

  • be otherwise closely and substantially connected to your business, because the domain name refers to:

    • a service that your business provides; or
    • a program that your business administers; or
    • an event that your business organises or sponsors; or
    • an activity that your business facilitates, teaches or trains; or
    • a venue that your business operates; or
    • a profession that you or your employees practise.

Allowable Characters for .au domain names

.com.au domain names must:

  • Be at least 2 characters long.

  • Contain only english-language letters (a - z), numbers (0 - 9) and hyphens (-) may be used eg: www.abacus-design-123.com.au.

  • Not begin or end in a hyphen. They must start and end with a number or a letter.

  • Not have two hyphens in a row and cannot contain hyphens in the third and fourth position (eg. ab--cd.com.au).

  • Not contain spaces and special characters (such as !, $, &, ?and so on).

Domain names are NOT case sensitive. You can advertise your name in upper or lower case or a combination of both.

Number of domain names

There is no restriction on the number of domain names that a business can register.

Domain Name License

There are no proprietary rights to domain names. If you register a domain name, you do not “own” it. Instead, you hold a licence to use the domain name, for a specified period of time and under certain terms and conditions.
