I was going to suggest having a look here: http://www.featuredomains.com but the pricing doesn't appear to be up to date at the moment.

Give Editor a pm on the forum - he'll soon let you know.

I'm not sure if there are even multiple registrar's for .com.au. http://www.melbourneit.com.au is the one I'm familiar with. Their registration is also regulated with several guidelines and policies.

But Editor will know as Lats said.

MelbourneIT is indeed the main .com.au people. Everyone else are simply resellers. INWW.com is a melbourneIT company, whom we register our .com.au domains through. I have seen one company sell a little cheaper, however I will not disclose there names as from experience, if you choose not to host with them, they will no longer continue to serve you, they send you directly to INWW.com

Are you aware of the forum rules regarding self promotion?

Not any longer. auDa are well established as the administrative body for our ccTLD now. They've put a number of test-bed Registrars in place, and we had the opportunity to undercut the old MelbIT price recently when our provider introduced them but the decision was made to put that off until March because the amount would have been fairly insignificant and it could have possibly raised a few eyebrows.

It'll be interesting to see what March and beyond will bring. I think we're in for some fun times with our .au domains.

Cheers

Did I hear that right? .au? as in no longer .com.au? I remember hearing a while back that MelIT would no longer be used.. but nothing since, and didn't have much info at the time anyways, other than they failed some basic tests or something along those lines. Anywho.. "I'm Excited!" :)

Sorry all ,

Gary as you pointed out I got it all wrong. I misread the pricing deals from Aunic. Long hours & long days has that effect on me sometimes :)

P.S. Did I use the wrong smiley?

http://webaccess.com.au/domain_names/ - $121.00 including GST - I have not found any cheaper anywhere.
