Domain Registration

Rules governing domain name registration in Australia are controlled by auDa, the Australian policy authority and industry self-regulatory body.

To hold a .com.au domain name, you must be a commercial entity, and have a registration number such as an ACN or ABN. The auDa site has more details on .au rules. Top level domains (eg .com) have less restrictions, however there are far fewer names still available.

Registration costs for all domain names -
Top Level: .com/.net/.org/.biz/.info
Australian: .com.au/.net.au
$70 / 2years
Renewals: Top level domains can be renewed for 1-10 years; Australian domains are renewed for a 2 year period

$35 per year

Notes:

  • All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and do not include GST. Prices are subject to change without notification.
  • Web hosting includes storage of your site files on a top-notch commercial web-server, email, security, backups - see below for more details.
  • Pricing quoted is for hosting and registration services only. Design, content (text, images, sound) and coding of the website, and updates to pages, are charged separately. Our rates are very reasonable, but because we build every website according to the client's needs, we can't give indicative pricing here. Contact us to discuss your webdesign needs.
  • ultraverse is a business partner and authorised reseller for services provided by one of Australia's most reliable webhosting organisations - (see benefits below)
  • Total data transfer/month represents the sum of all inbound and outbound data transferred from your account. Data transfer consists of: web (pages downloaded from your site), email and FTP (files uploaded) traffic.
  • Individual SSL certificates are provided by Thawte and include a charges of $60/year for provision of an individual IP address required when using a personal SSL certificate. (This is something you might need if you had an online payment facility.)
  • A $200 fee applies to restoration of data from backup tapes per instance.

Benefits provided by our web-hosting partner :

  • 7-day professional engineering support
  • Impeccable security record
  • Extremely reliable - with a 99.8% uptime guarantee - critical component protections include diesel generators, uninterruptible power supplies, multiple connections to the Internet, security services and high-end dedicated webservers.
  • Fast - our hosting partner's servers operate from one of the fastest data centers in Australia to ensure your website loads quickly. Servers are connected to the Internet via 3 independent links through Tier 1 providers; independent tests (by the Keynote Australia Business 30 Internet Performance Index) measured the average download time for pages loaded by these servers at about one-sixth of the average download time of Australian business sites. (Details available on request).
  • Australian-based hosting - Unlike many other Australian hosting companies which use US-based equipment, our hosting partner's servers are Australian-owned and operated and located in Sydney, Australia. US hosting services are continually subjected to slower download speeds for Australian and South-East Asian audiences due to congested international links.
  • Linux based hosting - Web services will utilise the Apache web server; Linux provides a more reliable base than Windows, with substantially fewer security vulnerabilities. Our hosting partner's servers commonly report continual uptimes of greater than a full calendar year - which indicates an extraordinary level of reliability.
