Why do I need both .au and .com.au?
Owning both helps protect your brand and makes sure no one else registers a similar name. Many businesses secure both because .com.au is trusted for companies, while .au is shorter and easier to remember — giving you the best of both worlds.
What’s the difference between .com.au and .au?
com.au is widely used by Australian businesses and companies, while .au is a shorter, simpler option that’s easy to remember—perfect for personal brands or modern websites.
Do I need an ABN to register a .au domain?
Nope! Unlike .com.au, you don’t need an ABN to grab a .au. Anyone with a valid connection to Australia — like citizens, permanent residents, or trademark holders — can register one.
Do you provide free domain privacy protection?
How long does it take for my domain to be active?
Most domains are active within minutes to a few hours. Once DNS propagation is complete, you can connect hosting and start building your website.
