What is a .net.au domain?
.net.au is a second-level namespace of Australia's .au country code, governed by .au Domain Administration (auDA) and issued as a licence rather than sold outright. Under the current auDA Rules: Licensing, which commenced on 12 April 2021, com.au and net.au share exactly the same eligibility and allocation criteria. The .au zone is DNSSEC-signed at the root.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Parent TLD | .au, Australia's country code |
| Policy authority | .au Domain Administration (auDA), Melbourne |
| Who may apply | A commercial entity with an Australian Presence (rules 2.4.1 and 2.4.4) |
| Licence period | 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years |
| Ongoing condition | Australian Presence and eligibility must continue for the whole licence |
| DNSSEC | .au has a secure delegation |
Can an Indian company register .net.au?
Not on Indian details alone: auDA requires an Australian Presence, so an Indian company qualifies only through an Australian entity, an ARBN, an ABN or an Australian trade mark. If the presence later lapses, the licence can be suspended or cancelled under rule 2.11.7.
| Route | Typical Indian case | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Company registered under the Corporations Act 2001 | An Australian Pty Ltd subsidiary of an Indian IT firm | Name must match the company, an acronym, or a service it provides |
| Foreign company with an ARBN | An Indian company registered to do business in Australia | Same matching rules |
| Entity with an ABN | A sole trader or partnership operating in Australia | Same matching rules |
| Australian trade mark application or registration | An Indian brand that has filed its mark in Australia | Domain must exactly match the trade mark words |
| Australian citizen or permanent resident | An Indian-origin founder with PR in Australia | Still needs a commercial entity for net.au |
Which names can you take on .net.au?
The name must connect to you: a match or acronym of your company, business or trade-mark name, or a match or synonym of a service, product, event, activity or premises you provide at the time of applying. Generic names you do not trade under are not allowed, and auDA prohibits domain-name monetisation.
- Allowed: infosolutions.net.au for “Info Solutions Pty Ltd”, or cloudsupport.net.au for a firm that sells cloud support.
- Not allowed: a name chosen only to resell or park.
- Trade-mark route: exact match to the mark's words only.
How much does .net.au cost at WebJi®?
WebJi® lists .net.au at ₹1,195 for the first year and ₹1,458 for each renewal year, before 18% GST — the same as .com.au. Because auDA licences run for 1 to 5 years, the term you choose at checkout determines the charge; as a planning figure, year one plus two renewals at today's prices is ₹4,111.

.net.au or .com.au — which should you register?
Register .com.au first, since Australian customers type it by habit; add .net.au when the .com.au is taken, or to protect the brand, especially for IT and network businesses. The rules and price are identical. A business without an Australian Presence should use .net or .com with Australian content instead.
Hosting and transferring a .net.au site
Australian visitors are best served from nearby infrastructure, and .au transfers use an authorisation code that the registrant can change at any time. See Australia VPS hosting for servers close to your users; existing .au licences move through domain transfer, with WebJi® support checking eligibility records before the move.
Frequently asked questions
Does an Australian trade mark application count, or only a registered mark?
Both count. auDA's definition lets the applicant or owner of an Australian trade mark rely on the application or registration, but only for a domain that exactly matches the words of that mark.
What happens if our Australian subsidiary is closed?
Under rule 2.11.5 you must keep an Australian Presence throughout the licence period. If it ends, the registrar or auDA can suspend or cancel the licence, so move the domain to another eligible group entity before closing the subsidiary.
Can an Indian freelancer with an ABN register .net.au?
An entity issued with an ABN has an Australian Presence, and a sole trader trading under an ABN can be a commercial entity. The domain must still match the trading name or a service offered at the time of applying.
How long can a .net.au licence run?
auDA defines a licence period of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. Eligibility is checked at application and must remain true for the whole period, not only on the day of purchase.
Is .au signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation for .au, so DNSSEC can be enabled for a .net.au name when your DNS host supports it.
