Overview
.net.au domains were originally designed as a domain extension for network providers or Telcos however they quickly became an alternative domain extension to a .com.au and are now recognised by the general Internet user as a trusted domain extension.
.NET.AU Domain Eligibility Requirements
What do I need to register a .net.au domain?
- Sole Trader
- Partnership
- Not-for-profit organisations (including Religious/Church groups)
- Any Australian Public or Private Company (Can either be Limited by Guarantee or Limited by Shares)
What if I don’t have an ABN/ACN?
In order to register a .net.au, .com.au or .org.au domain, you are required to have a valid ABN/ACN. If you do not have one, you will not be able to register a domain.
You can apply for an ABN on the ABR website.
What if my ABN/ACN has been cancelled?
Registrants who have previously registered domain names using an ABN/ACN which has since been cancelled must re-apply for their ABN at the ABR in order to qualify for future domain renewals. Further information on re-applying can be found on the ABR website.
