Australian domain names are addresses on the Internet that are registered in Australia, and use the letters .au at the end of the website address.

Before you can apply for domain registration Australia, you also need to select a second level domain, also known as a 2TLD. Second level domains are found between the Australian domain name and the letters .au. These second level domains must be appropriate for the type of business you are operating.

There are second level domains that are assigned for businesses that specialize in commercial products and services, and another for private Australian citizens and residents wishing to create a website. Non-commercial businesses, educational organizations and government offices also have its own second level domain assigned to them by the central registry in Australia.

You cannot own an Australian domain name permanently. Australian domain registrations are done with a registrar to obtain rights to use a particular name for a certain amount of time. Generally, you are not permitted to resell your domain name during the licensed period; however, there are very rare situations wherein the Australian regulatory body may permit this circumstance such as due to a company ceasing its business operations or the death of the registrant. An Australian domain name is normally resold only after a contract to use the particular domain name has expired.

After an application for domain registration Australia is approved, the names are added into a main database registry that is controlled by a central registry office. Any person wishing to create an Australian domain name has the freedom to use the main registry to check whether a name is already in use.

When you decide to proceed with domain registration Australia, you need to approach either a registrar, or a domain reseller who can provide you complete guidelines in domain registration, and can submit your application to an accredited Australian registrar.
