Australian domain names
Register or transfer a .com.au, .net.au, .au, .org.au or international domain, with renewals at the same price as registration.
Your domain, from an Australian host
Your domain name is the address people type to reach you, and it is the one part of your online presence you want to keep control of. Skyrack is Australian owned and operated, with a team operating between Sydney and Adelaide, and has been trading since May 2012. You can register a new domain, transfer an existing one, or keep it where it is and simply point it at our hosting.

Who can register an Australian domain
Australian domains have rules set by the .au administrator. In short:
.com.au and .net.au
You need an Australian presence such as an ABN or ACN, and the domain name must be connected to your business, for example by matching or relating to its name or what it does.
.org.au
For non-profit organisations, with an Australian presence.
.au direct
Open to anyone with an Australian presence. The name does not have to match a business name.
We cannot waive these rules. If you are unsure whether you qualify, ask us before you order.
How to register a domain
- Go to the console and search for the name you want.
- Choose the extension, and complete the .au details if asked (ABN or ACN).
- Add the domain to your cart and check out.
- Point the domain at your hosting. If it is registered with us, we can set the nameservers for you.
How to transfer a domain to Skyrack
- Unlock the domain and get its authorisation code from your current registrar.
- Start the transfer in the console and enter the domain and code.
- Confirm any approval email sent to the domain contact.
- Wait for the transfer to complete. We will let you know when it has.
Transfers in are free for .com.au, .net.au, .org.au and .au domains. A .com, .net, .org or .info transfer costs the same as one year of registration. Check that your contact email is current first, as the approval email goes there.
Put your domain and hosting in one place
Registering with the host that runs your site means one account, one invoice and one team to ask when something needs changing. Pair your domain with WordPress hosting or cPanel hosting from $4.98 per month. DNS hosting is included and runs on our Australian DNS network, and you can add business email on your own domain.
