Domains are identical regardless of where they are registered. They are a commodity that is bought and sold and the only difference is how much you are prepared to pay. Australian DomainsThere are a number of Second Level Domains (2LDs) within the .au domain. Each 2LD has a purpose, as indicated in the list below. People can register their domain name in the 2LD(s) that is most suitable for their needs. | com.au | For commercial entities, such as companies (with ACN as registered through ASIC), and businesses (registered with state governments). | | net.au | For commercial entities, such as companies (with ACN as registered through ASIC), and businesses (registered with state governments). | | id.au | For individuals who are Australian citizens or residents. | | org.au | For charities and non-profit organisations. | | asn.au | For incorporated associations, political parties, trade unions, sporting and special interest clubs. |
