Hey All,

Just wondering, is there any way to obtain a decently priced .com.au domain without being an Australian business or organization?


Thanks,

No there is not. You need to have an ABN. Not sure about the regulations for obtaining an ABN without being a resident. You could always have someone purchase the domain name on your behalf.

yes you cant get a .au domain unless you are australian or u have some sort of business in there, atleast i have heard like this.. GOD knows better.

The id.au 2LD is for individuals.

b) an Australian resident.

The com.au & net.au 2LD is for commercial purposes.

1. To be eligible for a domain name in the net.au 2LD, 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; or
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.
