Domain registration, transfers and pricing in Adelaide

Your domain name is your address on the internet — it's worth getting it right and keeping it with someone you trust. We register and manage domains for Adelaide businesses across all the popular extensions — .com.au, .au, .com, .net.au and more. Straightforward pricing, no hidden renewal markups and a real person to call if you need help.

What is domain registration?

Domain registration is the process of securing a web address (like yourbusiness.com.au) so nobody else can use it. You register it through an accredited registrar for a set period, usually one or two years, and renew it to keep it. Your domain is the foundation of your online presence — it's what people type to find you, what appears in your email address and what search engines index. Losing it or letting it lapse can be a real headache.

What we offer

Domain registration

Domain transfers

Move your domain to us from any other registrar — we handle the process and there's no downtime for your site or email.

DNS management

Full DNS control through your hosting panel — A records, CNAME, MX records and everything else configured correctly.

Auto-renewal

Set your domain to renew automatically so you never accidentally lose it because a reminder email went to spam.

Domain registration questions

How much does a .com.au domain cost?

A .com.au domain typically costs between $15 and $30 per year depending on the registrar. We offer competitive pricing without the bait-and-switch renewal markups that bigger providers are known for.

Can I transfer my domain to you?

Yes. As long as your domain has been active for at least 60 days and isn't currently locked, we can transfer it. The process usually takes a few days and there's no impact on your site or email.

What's the difference between .com.au and .au?

Both are Australian extensions. The .com.au has been around longer and is the most recognised. The shorter .au extension is newer and available to Australian entities. We usually recommend securing both to protect your brand.

What happens if I forget to renew my domain?

You'll have a grace period to renew, but after that your domain can be released and registered by someone else. We set up auto-renewal and send reminders well in advance so this doesn't happen.
