.au Domain Name to officially Launch
I know many of you will have questions and how it will effect your business presence on the
World Wide Web.
Here's a brief outline on the consequences or Pros & Cons of the action that is taken.
In a nut shell, it will make it easier in the future for people especially the younger
generation to automatically find you on the internet, while tightening up Cyber Security.
So who is actually eligible to own* the .au Domain name?
You must have an Australian Presence to be in a position to buy the .au Domain ie:
The .au Domains became available to purchase on the 24th March 2022
I had written to the majority of you prior to that time.
At that time you had been able to take up the offer to secure the .au domain name.
This is now the second privileged offer to secure the valuable asset.
You can Check on your current priority status by using the official
auDA's Priority Status Tool Click Here
To simplify things if you owned a .com.au or .org.au or .net .au before 4/2/2018 you are Status 1
Between 4/02/2018 and 24/03/2022 Status 2
In the event of multiple people claiming your domain Name, Status 1 will take precedent
If Multiple people claim the .au Domain name in Status 2 then the earliest date will apply.
Why bother to the have .au Domain, I hear you ask?
If you have a local name such as
Melbourne Window Tinting. com.au or .net.au or .org.au
and you haven't purchased the .au Domain then anyone who is eligible as above*,
has the right to purchase your domain name.
I implore you to be prepared, if someone else starts to trade using your domain name,
you won't have a leg to stand on.
Check the Whois registry to make sure the eligibly info on your domain name is correct.
Please give us a call if you have any questions and more importantly
When you'd like to take up the opportunity to purchase your .au Domain
