Acceptable .COM.AU domain types:
Domain names related to your company name, products, services and trademarks can all be registered via our Trustee Service for .COM.AU domain names. If you are planning to register domains relating to gambling, chat, erotic content, advertising or similar name categories, such names must be pre-approved individually and may incur a higher service charge.

All the .COM.AU domain names may be hosted on your own name servers. If you specify no name servers, we will provide DNS for your Australian domains free of charge.

As soon as the .COM.AU domain names have been registered, we will forward to you a User Certificate which defines your rights and the terms under which we are providing the Trustee Service for Australia - including that you will be considered the rightful user of the domain names, with full authority to define technical settings and to manage the usage of the domain.
