    CheckVault.com.au

    Hi Oz, Yes, they are legit. I've used Checkvault quite a few times. Cheaper overall than Escrow.com as you don't have to pay wire fees to get your cash. Use the one-off transaction option. Andrew

    Contested .au direct applications - is the process working?

    I have a couple of .au direct applications that I did NOT renew, yet when I check auDA's priority status tool (https://www.auda.org.au/tools/priority-status-tool) the applications are still showing as current, and the whois is still showing "Priority Hold" for those particular .au direct...

    koala dropping?

    Erm - I don't think Drop want you discussing bids in a public forum. https://www.dntrade.com.au/threads/domain-sales-list-2021.12600/#post-98783

    .au direct renewals

    Still debating whe I will be trimming our portfolio. I'm probably going to keep the .au directs for our higher value .com.au domains as a defensive/added value and dump the rest. I went through our expiring list and emailed everyone that had the equivalent .net.au, or a hyphenated .com.au and...

    List of organisation using Au Direct as Primary Domain

    I think you'll struggle to come up with any recognisable companies of note that have switched to using .au direct, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

    Parent company of Crazy Domains/Enetica dropping direct au's

    So why haven't they re-registered the following? globalservices.au parkme.au getlisted.au The others have been registered by other non related entities... buydomains.au renewals.au hostingaustralia.au vodien.au Not really buying that there are "other technical issues at stake here".

    Parent company of Crazy Domains/Enetica dropping direct au's

    Following on from my previous post... One of the major Registrars/Sponsors of direct au (Dreamscape Networks International Pte Ltd) dropped some of their own corporate direct au registrations today. Their brands... Looks like they're keeping the .com.au's. Doesn't inspire confidence in...

    .au direct renewals

    Don't get me wrong, I've had .au sales, and have thrown in the .au domain as a value add in negotiations. But recently in the drops, I've seen the .com.au versions of .au's drop right through without being picked up - the registrants get to be quite familiar. I suspect quite a few domainers...

    .au direct renewals

    I would suspect that there's a few domainers with a sizeable list of .au domains to renew this month. What are peoples thoughts - Hold or Renew? Is there a market for selling these to other domainers at low prices eg $50 or less? Thoughts?

    .au direct total registrations

    Thanks Trellian - this kind of information is both interesting and useful. The wrap up on Domainer at the end of 2022 (https://domainer.com.au/2022-domain-wrap-up/) was the last set of stats I could find. Any chance of monthly stats going forward - either here or on Domainer?

    .au direct total registrations

    Any Stats on total .au direct registrations? I'm curious to see whether the market is growing/flattening/dropping. I know registrars used to get a monthly report from auDA on registrations...

    direct au's in the drops

    Good to see .au's in the download. I noticed that GDA and EA columns and values are no longer in the download. These seem to have been replaced with two columns both headed "Value", both showing the same values. Is this deliberate? Thanks Andrew

    direct au's in the drops

    Quite a few .au's dropping today - one year plus expiry period since the launch. I notice that the drop.com dropping domains download doesn't seem to include direct .au's? Is this something that will be added? Thanks Andrew

    Any registrars with a multi-level access user feature?

    Pretty sure you can do this at Godaddy. They also cater to .au. godaddy.com/help/delegate-access-levels-of-permission-12374 godaddy.com/help/assign-delegate-folder-permissions-32180
