Extension specific guidance
Is this business meaningfully Australian?
.com.au gives an eligible commercial website a distinctly Australian address. It fits businesses that trade in Australia and can meet the published licensing rules.
This is not simply a decorative country ending. auDA requires an Australian Business Number, Australian Company Number or qualifying Australian trademark for registration.
Why choose .com.au?
It combines a business label with a specific national market, leaving the words before the dot free for the registered business or trading name.
A simple naming tip
Start with the registered business or trading name and confirm its connection to the eligibility evidence. A clever address is less useful when the paperwork points somewhere else.
When another extension may fit
Choose another extension if the registrant cannot meet the published Australian eligibility rules or if one country neutral address must serve every market.
.com.au or .com?
.com.au clearly prioritizes an eligible Australian business and market.
.com keeps the geography open. It may suit one global site, while .com.au earns its place with genuinely Australian offers and information.
