.com.au Domain Registration India

.com.au Domain Registration — What You Get

.com.au sits inside Australia's .au country code, licensed under auDA's rules rather than sold outright. auDA is the policy authority, and a .au-family registration is a domain licence — 1 to 5 years at a time — tied to a registrant who holds a verifiable Australian presence.

The licence runs on standard auDA terms: 1 to 5 years, renewable, with the registrant's Australian commercial presence recorded against the name.

DNSSEC is deployed across the .au zones with DS records accepted through registrars, and from May 2026 the registry enforces stricter ABN/ACN validation and renewal-eligibility checks across the namespace. An Indian buyer should read that sentence twice: eligibility is not a one-time form, it must stay valid for the life of the licence.

Who Can Register a .com.au Domain Name

To register .com.au you must be an Australian commercial entity — auDA's own page says the most common way to qualify is an active ABN or ACN, with an ARBN or an Australian-registered trademark also qualifying — and the name must closely match your business, trading name, product, service or trademark.

The plain statement for Indian buyers: an individual or company in India cannot hold .com.au on Indian details alone. You need an Australian registered business (an ABN, or an ACN for companies) or an equivalent recognised presence such as an Australian-registered trademark, or you use a registrar-supplied trustee arrangement under which the licence is held for your benefit. If the ABN later lapses, the domain can be suspended or cancelled.

• Australian commercial presence: an active ABN or ACN (ARBN or an Australian-registered trademark can also qualify).
• Eligibility must be maintained at all times, not just at registration — lapsed numbers risk suspension or cancellation.
• From May 2026 the registry validates ABN/ACN details and renewal eligibility more strictly.
• First completed eligible order wins: a name is not held while you arrange presence.

What a .com.au Domain Is Used For

.com.au is the address Australian customers read as local — Australia's commercial default. Indian exporters, education providers and SaaS sellers use it as the Australian storefront in front of a .com or .in primary site.

Because every registrant passed an eligibility check, Australian shoppers extend the ending more trust than a lookalike zone — which is also why we will not pretend the check does not exist.

.com.au Domain Registration Plans & Pricing (INR)

WebJi lists .com.au at ₹1,195 a year for registration and ₹1,458 for renewal, read on 4 November 2026, before 18% GST. Transfers are handled by our support desk rather than a cart transfer, so there is no separate transfer charge from us.

.com.au Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules

A .au licence runs 1 to 5 years and can be renewed from 90 calendar days before expiry. After expiry there is a 30-calendar-day grace window in which only the original registrant can renew — then the name is cancelled and released with no redemption phase.

Renewal eligibility checks tightened from 20 May 2026, so renewals file against a still-valid ABN/ACN. Transfers between registrars are handled by our support desk with eligibility intact; there is no separate transfer charge from us for .com.au.

Set auto-renew and keep the ABN/ACN current: the 30-day post-expiry window is the last stop before the name returns to the open pool.

.com.au vs .com and .in for an Indian Business

The extension is not a ranking factor — content and links decide placement, including in Australian search. Choose by audience and eligibility: .com.au when you have the Australian presence and want the local-trust ending, .com for the global default, .in for Indian identity.

• .com.au — Australian .com.au licence, ₹1,195 a year, renewal ₹1,458, ABN/ACN required.
• .com.au — the commercial default of the same family, ₹1,195 a year at WebJi.
• .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
• .in — Indian identity, ₹1,000/year, no presence questions.
