This includes sole proprietors, trusts, incorporated associations and corporations, all of which generally have an ABN or ACN with ASIC. .com.au domain names are managed by auDA.
This is a sign of trust and credibility for Australian internet users. Web users across Australia are familiar with the .com.au extension, and it features a lot in advertisements and displays.
Furthermore, if you have activities in countries other than Australia, we recommend reserving an additional extension specifically for those countries.
