In March 2022, auDA launched a new Australian domain name – .au – giving Australian businesses a shorter alternative to .com.au and .net.au.
You’re probably already familiar with .com.au and .net.au – for example, websolutionz.com.au. Now you’ll also be able to get .au.
Australian businesses and individuals with a connection to Australia can purchase .au domains. It’s the first time the .au domain has been available for purchase after auDA, the organisation that manages Australian domains, launched the product after years of consultation.
Businesses that already hold a .com.au or similar domain may still be able to register the matching .au version – check availability with your domain registrar.
Pricing for .au domains is broadly similar to .com.au – check with your registrar for current rates.
For more information about the new .au domain names, read the auDA article here.
