| An
Internet domain name is a unique address that is assigned to an
organisation. Internet domain names are hierarchical and divided
up based on country and the type of organisations. For example,
OptraWeb's domain name is optraweb.com.au. Let's take an example
of a company called "Jeandale Solutions". They could choose
to use an Internet domain name of jeandale.com.au.
To
make it easier, let's break down the Domain name into its different
components:
|
 |
| As
identified, there are different second and top level domains that
you can use -- and their suitability and availability depend on
the type of organisation you run. For example, an Australian company
could register in com.au, whereas an Australian university would
register in edu.au. |
|
Please do not assume you will get the domain name you have applied
for. Please wait for confirmation from us that your domain name
has been approved by the issuing authority before using your domain
name. |
| .com.au |
A
.com.au domain requires evidence of a registered business
or company name for the requested domain. The domain name
MUST be a direct derivation (or abbreviation) from the BRN
or ACN. Please note it can not be a place name (i.e. goldcoast.net.au),
or be a generic word (i.e. bank.net.au). The domain name
can not be a trademark violation. |
