Where may I obtain my registry key?


Aust Domains does not actually use 'Registry Keys', this is an old term previously used under the 'Melbourne IT' .au domain structure.

Aust Domains uses a centralised technology of a unique username & password combination associated with your member and all your domains, not just one. This replaces the old 'registry key' system.

Please advise your requesting host or web developer of these details along with your login url of http://www.austdomains.com.au/manage.html

If you do not wish for your host or developer to have access to all your domains under your account, you may wish to assign a technical contact of the specific domain to your host/developer, giving them access to only that domain with their own username/password.

If you cannot remember your username and password, please email us.

How to change the owner of my domain?


Changing ownership of a domain name is a PERMANENT function. You will not be able to change the ownership back once you have made the change.

.com / .net / .org /.info Change Of Ownership
As you may know, ownership change means to transfer all of the rights and duties of domain names to designated person/corporate. To protect your properties, we do not accept the application of ownership change online or by telephone.

What fees are payble to Aust Domains for the above service?
To change the registrant of your .com / .net / .org / .info name, Aust Domains must reset your domain licence. This effectively means your registration period starts from the day it's reset, and any previous registration period will be lost.

The fee will thus be the standard cost of a new registration. e.g. $28 inc gst
