What are the Australian Domain Name Spaces?

Domain Space Description
.com.au .com.au is the Domain Name space of choice for Australian Businesses/Companies. You need only think of Australian web sites that you know and visit already to realise that if you want to do business online in Australia, you need a com.au Domain Name.
.net.au .net.au is the Domain Name space that has historically been chosen by Australian 'tech' companies, but has grown in visibility in recent years as a great alternative to .com.au. If your Domain Names are already taken in .com.au then you should see if they are still available in the .net.au Domain Name space.

information Important Note: Always remember the same general principle applies & if you do not register your Domain Names in a particular Domain Name space, they may be registered by someone else. Make sure you secure all your names in all the key name spaces as soon
as possible.
