About .au

one honest minute

.au is the Australian namespace under auDA, and since 2022 you can register the second level directly instead of only com.au. An Australian presence is mandatory, verified against an ABN, ACN, or trademark. Renewals hover around $11 and hold steady, since ccTLDs don't chase you with promos.

Typical use: australian business, local retail, au presence. Right now the cheapest way in is $6.99 at VentraIP (promo — it renews at $16.12/yr), the cheapest renewal on the market is $7.60/yr at Above.com, and the best five-year total is $38.00 via Above.com. If you're moving an existing name, transfers start at $8.94 and normally include a one-year extension.

FAQ

.au pricing
How much does a .au domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .au domain is $6.99 at VentraIP, and the cheapest verified renewal is $7.60 per year at Above.com. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .au renewal price different from the first-year price?
Registrars discount the first year to win customers, then charge the regular rate from year two. On .au the steepest step-up on today's board is ×4.0 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .au domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $38.00 via Above.com — first year $7.60, then $7.60 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .au domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .au transfer right now is $8.94 at WHC.ca. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
