In Australia a .COM.AU domain name
can serve as a good URL for your business, however globally registering
of a .COM domain is very good idea.
Usually the .COM domains are cheaper, but internet market is a
global market and before you know your business could be expanding
globally. Wouldn't you hate to find out after some time that you
MISSED OUT. It did happened to few ....
Other consideration of use when registering domain:
.com.au or .net.au : you must be an Australian
registered company, or business with a registered
business number (ABN, BRN, BN). The domain name
you order should have a solid relationship to the business it
represents. Place names in Australia are disallowed. Can be 2
to 63 letters, and words can be separated by hyphens, but not
spaces
org.au or asn.au : To qualify for these domains
your organisation must be a "non-commercial organisation".
The domain name you register should have a solid
relationship to the organisation to which it represents.
For example: The Salvation Army are reasonably entitled to own
domain name:-
www.salvationarmy.org.au
www.salvos.org.au
AU.COM, .COM, .BIZ, .NET, .INFO, .ORG
These domain names are not restricted or regulated
by .au Policy Rules. They are therefore policy free and anyone
can register any domain name. If you own a company
name, or a trademark, register an .au.com domain
name to prevent anyone else registering that name. |
