.com.au domains name

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone tried to buy a .com.au domain name? I want to setup a little site aimed at the Australian market, but its seems pretty impossible as a foreigner.

where all have you serched.. for this domain name? try godaddy

yeah thanks, but the problem is it looks like you need to be a registered business in Australia.

I don’t know who this hosting company is, or if its not some scam but they appear to allow you to register a com.au website for personal use. I said “appear” because as I said I don’t know, or ever did register a domain with them. So use at your own risk. Here’s the a test link

thanks doru, I have been on the site already, its one of the big one’s – once you add the domain to your cart it asks for a business number.

but on the domain register page were it ask for your info, there’s a two choice option, personal and business. Did you change that to personal? because it was by default on business.

I can’t see a personal option – I thinks its a legal requirement so I doubt there is a easy way around it.

mystery

this is what I see.

but probably after you register they cut you out, or if you are a member already and you made your account as business you are obligated to always use business type registration. Like the “exclusive” and “not exclusive” envato accounts.

But mine are only suppositions.

its still takes you through to the same form where you have to provide one of these:

I guess its back to the drawing board for me

lol they were pretty clear

but ”.com in particular considered the “Beverly Hills” of domain name extensions.” so maybe you should listen to them

good luck with your project
