Hey guys,

I'm waiting for the 20th for a nice .au domain im seeking to become avaliable.

The owner has not claimed it and im just wondering the best way to backorder it to maximise my chances of getting it?

Kind Regards

Welcome Zyzz,

You have a few options:

You can try to catch/register the domain on the 4th of October when all the names not taken by the 20 Sep will actually drop by doing these:

1. hand reg right after the drops (only recommended if you feel no one else will want this domain)
2. use Drop.com.au to catch it for you, best chance of securing the domain
3. place a back order with your registrar that you currently use... note that if someone places an order with Drop, the back order placed with a different registrar is not likely to succeed as Drop has superior drop catching technology.

Not released yet. There will be a new page added next to the Daily Drops menu link and we will send an email as soon as it is released and ready for bidding.

Thank you for your message.

We do not offer a backorder service.

Our business catches domains on behalf of our clients who win in the expiring auctions we run.

This means that any domains slated for deletion will appear in our daily auctions where our users bid against each other on who catches what domain when it drops.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,

...

Support Team,
Drop.com.au

Just a quick update, we anticipate to provide a Special .au drop auction section on Drop.com.au on the 27th Sep. Stay tuned for notification. Bid will be accepted shortly after. If you have not spent time building out lists of .au names to go after, the next few days should be used well. As the auction is with price tiers the 1st one in benefits with securing the price tier that they are happy with.

Can you guide me too where I can purchase a .au domain what is a Procedure. I am from Chicago USA and running a wholesale business here and want to start my business in Australia as well.

Hi Jill,

.au domain names require Australian residency checks, so a form of ID or proof of Residency.
.com.au domain names require either ACN/ABN/TM to register one.

If you qualify then you can use any registrar to order one of these domains.
