Please enter your desired domain name:
Australia's official domain is .au. This country is located in Oceania and has a population of 24,450,561 habitants. So it is understood that it is a large market open to new projects. The Australian ccTLD was created in 1986 and is managed by the .au Domain Administration (auDA).

More than 21 million people go online in Australia. It is one of the first countries in the ranking of the regional market in electronic commerce. Future e-commerce projections are attractive, hoping to reach US $ 26.9 billion by 2023. The sectors that stand out the most in e-commerce in Australia are: fashion, electronic and communication media, toys, furniture and care products personal.

Acquiring a .au domain can be an important step to increase the online recognition of your brand, it is an opportunity to expand the reach of any business since it is necessary to take advantage of the number of Internet users in Australia, which is 87% of the total population.

From March 24, 2022 it is possible to register .au domains directly at the second level, without the need to use a third level domain such as .com.au

In addition, since then domain registration is also allowed without the need for them to coincide with the name of the company or registered trademark.

It is also possible to register .au domains by individuals residing in Australia, but at the moment we do not offer this possibility in INWX due to the additional data verification that is necessary in each registration, renewal or transfer operation. Do you want to register a .au domain and you reside in Australia? Contact our support team to see how we can help you.
