.asn.au
A .asn.au domain can be renewed for terms of 1 to 5 years, and the registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect the integrity of your DNS records. Renewal is backed by a grace period of 30 days after expiry, so a lapsed name can still be recovered during that window.
A .asn.au domain suits an Australian presence that needs its name in the .au space. Before you register, check that your organisation meets the eligibility conditions set by the registry and be ready to keep those conditions true for the whole licence period.
Registration depends on Australian presence and eligibility rules set by the registry.
- You must have an Australian presence to register a .au name.
- Your eligibility must be kept in place for the whole licence period.
- Your contact details must be accurate, as the registry relies on them.
Renew before the expiry date to keep your name without interruption.
- A lapsed licence can be renewed during a 30-day grace period after expiry.
- If it is not renewed in that time, the name is purged and released.
- The registrar will send renewal reminders before expiry.
You can move an existing .asn.au domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- Transfers between registrars are free and use an authorisation code, which you obtain from your current registrar or from auDA.
- Once you supply the password, a transfer usually completes the same day.
- Keep your eligibility in place during the transfer so the licence stays valid.
Changing the registrant of a .asn.au domain works differently from a normal renewal.
- Transferring the licence to a new registrant cancels the old licence and issues a new one.
- The term starts again from the date the new licence is issued.
- The new registrant must also meet the eligibility conditions for the name.
