.com.au is more pricey. also you need to have an ABN to register for one (supposeldy). Check out:

http://www.planetdomain.com.au to get an idea. I use http://www.godaddy.com/ for my .com domain as I found them to be regarded as one of the best all round for price and service in my investigations (not the best service, not the best price, but excellent all round and have a HUUUUUGE global subscription).

 

To have a .com.au or .net.au you need to have an ABN. To have a .org.au you need to be a registered 'not for profit' organisation. To have a .info.au i think it has to be your own name. check the regulations on that though. Australia has a seperate body to govern anything with a .au

 

A .com, .net etc. however can be had by anybody hence it's harder to find what you want but much cheaper.

also use godaddy for my .com domain ... had no issues thus far with them $8 or so US for a .com domain works for me

 

use melbit for my .com.au domain .. expensive $100+ for 2yrs ..., but i'll be letting that lapse next time as the business is closed down now.

I paid $66 dollars for our domain here, got it for 2 years.

 

Pretty sweet deal I think. They are cracking down on the .com.au domains. From my understanding you need a ABN and be trading as that name eg

 

ABN xxxxxxxxx

Trading as : Billy Bods Arcade

billybobsarcade.com.au

 

So you can just put down any ABN number you want. They sent our mail just recently saying they will be doing checks.

 

cheers

If you want to be more searchable on the web ".com.au" would probably be the better option to use.

 

Im not totally sure on this, but i believe that if a user on google who tries refining their seach critera by clicking on "Australia only search" , (which alot of people do ) then you will probably have a better chance of coming up in the results page...
