Register .com.au
The .com.au domain is for commercial purposes. Most businesses in Australia would choose to register a .com.au over other domain name extensions.
To be eligible for a com.au domain name, registrants must be:
- a) an Australian registered company; or
- b) trading under a registered business name in any Australian State or Territory; or
- c) an Australian partnership or sole trader;
- d) a foreign company licensed to trade in Australia; or
- e) an owner of an Australian Registered Trade Mark; or
- f) an applicant for an Australian Registered Trade Mark ; or
- g) an association incorporated in any Australian State or Territory; or
- h) an Australian commercial statutory body.
The domain names in the com.au space must:
- a) exactly match, acronym or abbreviation of the registrant’s company or trading name, organization or association name or trademark; or:
- b) be otherwise closely and substantially connected to the registrant.
Additional Rules
.com.au domains be at least 2 characters long;
b) contain only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and hyphens (-), or a combination of these;
c) start and end with a number or a letter, not a hyphen; and
d) not contain hyphens in the third and fourth position (eg. ab--cd.com.au).
How many .com.au domains can I register
There is no restriction on the number of domain names that may be licensed by a registrant. A registrant must meet the eligibility requirements to be able to register .com.au domain names.
