The new Australian domain is here and we recommend that you secure your .au domain for your group, business or campaign.
Currently Australia has a heap of domains, with the main ones being:
- yourdomain.com.au
- yourdomain.net.au
- yourdomain.org.au
The new domain is simply:
- yourdomain.au
Think of it as the one Australian domain to rule them all.
There are some complexities:
- If you have a .com.au, .org.au or .net.au, you have priority registration
- If no one has the .com.au, .org.au or .net.au domains, you can register it and use it today
- If someone the .com.au, .org.au or .net.au domains, you can register it today but will need to wait until after September 20 and hope the other parties don’t register your domain
You can find more information here on the offical AUDA page.
It can be a little confusing so let us know if you need a hand or your registrar will be able to help.
- You can register the new domains at a few registrars. Here are some examples:
- ventraip.com.au
- webcentral.au
We registered actionskills.au and will likely stick with actionskills.co. it is important that we have it registered so no-one else can squat on our domain space.
