Reasons for registering a .com.au domain instead of a .com domain

  • Indicates a legitimate registered business
  • Google give preference to .au domains when the "Search Pages from Australia" option is selected
  • Indicates local when selling goods/services within Australia
  • a .com domain could mean anything.
  • When a .com is 30 days over the renewal date, it goes into a 30 day "limbo" where it can only be restored by paying an exorbitant fee (US$75 - $150)
