.COM.AU and .NZ domains cheaper in the long run

Why offer .NZ domains?

New Zealand is a dream destination with endless points of interest to explore. Most of the country is blessed with well-preserved wildlife (one third of its territory is occupied by national parks), which draws thousands of adventurers from around the world like a magnet.

This makes .NZ a natural choice for all websites, which promote New Zealand’s natural beauty, culture and travel opportunities.

Apart from that, the .NZ extension is an excellent choice for all types of sites, which are somehow related to New Zealand.

You can target individuals, small business owners, freelancers, restaurants, bars, fans of the Lord of the Rings and/or of New Zealand’s stunning nature, etc.

The locals, known internationally as ‘Kiwis’, are emotionally attached to their country and generally show preference to sites ending in .NZ.

The same holds true for local search engines, which rank .NZ sites higher than regular .COM ones.

With the .NZ extension in your portfolio, you will have the full marketing arsenal to target a growing online market.

.COM.AU domain registrations now 10% cheaper

The most popular Australian domain extension – .COM.AU, also gets a long-term discount on our platform. The domain is now 10% cheaper, which allows it to compete with top-choice extensions like .COM and .NET.

New Zealand’s neighbour is an abundant land of wilderness and unexplored beauty as well, waiting to be discovered by thousands of adventure seekers.

With its unique beauty and specific local culture, Australia has a lot to offer. One can best target Australian audiences by creating an .AU-powered online identity.

Just like the ‘Kiwis’, the ‘Kangaroos’ love their land and would rather consult an .AU website than a .COM one when searching for answers, solutions or services online.

Local search engines will also rank you higher if you decide to build your online profile or to present your Australia-related services using their ‘native’ .AU extension.

.AU domain registration details

.AU domains are open for registration to Australian companies and organizations.

Registrants need to supply either their name or their business registration number.

Also, they need to select a domain that is either an exact match, an abbreviation or an acronym of the registrant’s name or trademark or that otherwise bears some relevant connection to the registrant.

.AU domain names:
