    What a huge difference between 27$ and 140$, what could make people go for Melbournу IT? Top notch support?

    lottos, have you got your own domains there? If yes, what are they?

    dannyy, do you mean at netregistry.com.au ? if so, no way would I go through them.

    I recall years ago when they were selling .au.com domains... (yes, .au.com not .com.au !)... that was enough for me to stear clear.

    It's MelbournE IT.

    I don't think they have 'top notch' (if any at all) support. I remember dealing with them as one big nightmare.

    Sure, somebody else could have different experiences...

    Netregistry and particulary MelbourneIt are too expensive. MelbourneIt used literally own the market in Australia until the TLD's were opened up to market forces. The prices dropped from $000's to under $40 today.

    I tell all my clients to keep away from the above two. Netregistry's extras are a ripp-off.

    Trust me, registrar could care less about the trademarks. They will suspend domain only if the court order is received to this effect.

    Hi Stan

    I was always under the impression that .com.au couldnt be awarded unless buyer proved he had ownership rights to that name (be it business name, trading name, patents or trademarks). As far as I am aware, the 'current owners' dont.

    Anyway, my clients Patent Attorney is seeking a court injunction - an expensive process from what I am hearing. ouch.
