Registering a .au domain name is easy and a great way to build a strong online presence for your or your organisation. .au domain names operate on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the person registering the domain name meets the criteria set out in the .au Licensing Rules.
You can apply to register a .au domain name if it:
- Isn’t already registered
- Isn’t a reserved name
- Complies with syntax rules
- Isn’t deceptively similar to a .au namespace.
