Domains
Find, register or move your domain name
Search for a new domain, or bring the ones you already own to us. We keep your domains safe, renewed and in one place, so you’re never caught out by an expired name or a surprise bill.
The short answer
A domain name is your business’s address online, like yourbusiness.com.au. It powers your website and your email. We register, transfer, renew and manage .com.au, .au and global domains, with a .com.au costing $80 + GST for two years, DNS included.
Your domain name is your identity online
Your website and email both depend on your domain. Lose it, and customers can’t find you or reach you. We make sure that never happens.
Registered to you
Your domain is registered in your name or your business's name, never ours. You stay the owner.
Renewal reminders
We remind you well before renewal and can renew automatically, so your site and email never go dark.
DNS managed for you
We set up and look after your DNS records, so your website, email and other services all work together.
All in one place
Domains, hosting and email with one provider and one support team, instead of three logins and three bills.
No upsell traps
No bundled extras you didn't ask for, and no misleading "renewal notices" from other companies.

Australian domain names and who can register them
Australian domains are managed by auDA, which sets rules about who can hold each one. Here’s a plain-English summary.
.com.au
The most popular choice for Australian businesses. You need an Australian presence, such as an ABN or ACN, and the name must match or be closely connected to your business.
.net.au
Has the same eligibility rules as .com.au. It’s a good alternative when the .com.au you want is taken.
.au
The shorter direct .au domain, open to anyone with an Australian presence. Many businesses register it as well, to protect their name.
.org.au
For non-profit organisations, charities, clubs and associations with an Australian presence.
.id.au
For individual Australians, such as personal sites, blogs and portfolios.
.com and others
Global domains like .com, .net and .co have no Australian eligibility rules. Register them to protect your brand overseas.
Eligibility is checked when you register. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, give us a call and we’ll check for you.
Move your domains to us, without the downtime
Transferring a domain changes who manages it, not where your website or email live. Done properly, nobody notices a thing.
- Get your domain's transfer (EPP) code from your current provider
- Start the transfer using the search above, with "Move a Domain" selected
- Approve the transfer email that's sent to the domain owner
- We copy your DNS records first, so your website and email keep working

If your website and email are moving too, we’ll handle the lot: domains, hosting and email, in the right order.

Domain name FAQs
Who owns the domain if I register it with you?
You do. We register it in your name or your business’s name. We just manage it for you.
What do I need to register a .com.au?
An Australian presence, such as an ABN, ACN or Australian registered trade mark, and a domain name that matches or is closely connected to your business. We’ll ask for your details during checkout.
Will my website or email stop working during a transfer?
No. We copy your DNS records before the transfer completes, so your website and email keep working throughout.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Usually between a few hours and a few days, depending on the domain extension and how quickly the transfer email is approved.
What's an EPP or transfer code?
It’s a password for your domain, issued by your current provider. It proves you’re allowed to move the domain.
Can I register a domain without hosting?
Yes. Choose “Register a Domain” and skip the hosting step. You can add hosting at any time.
