// The .com.au space is much harder to register a domain for than .com
- prawn 16y agoIt's not that much harder - pretty trivial to register under the "close and substantial connection rule" and then have a valid play at it under the service of "domain monetisation." Years ago it was much more difficult, but since then it's been pretty straightforward. None of these names were trademarks or anything like that so there wasn't anything I could contest.
- whatusername 16y agoThanks. Who do you normally do your registration with? I don't normally touch .au's but have done one or two and it's been a little painful
- prawn 16y agoI use TPP, mostly because they've been pretty easy when it comes to keeping multiple domains under control - easy to delegate to default nameservers, pay by default credit card on file, etc. 95% of the domains I look after (60-70ish personal ones and then others for friends and a bunch more for clients) are .com.au though and I keep the majority of my .coms with TPP also even though they're more expensive - just saves having different logins for every domain with Joker, Gandi, etc.
- whatusername 16y ago$99 for 2 years of .com.au registration? ziphosting.com.au are pricing it for $21
- prawn 16y agoThe rate for resellers is $24 or so for two years.
- whatusername 16y agomakes sense. Thanks.
- prawn 16y agoI guess it makes it a bit easier to charge clients a fraction more (say $50/2yrs) via the same registrar and they don't necessarily feel like you're screwing them.
