Business and individuals are registering or renewing dot-au domain names in increasing numbers, in stark contrast to the decline in use of the more mature dot-com domain, the Australian domain name registry claims.
An Australian domain name registry is looking to leverage its technical experience Down Under in a bid to become the registry for global top-level domain .org.
AusRegistry, the company responsible for the registry of the dot-au domain space, is planning a multi-million marketing push to promote Australian domain names so they are no longer confused with the more generic dot-coms.
AusRegistry believes it still has a chance at running the .org domain space, despite a recommendation from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that the tender be awarded to rival bidder ISOC.
An accredited domain name registrar accused of transferring domain names without the owners permission has angrily denied the charge, saying it had permission to transfer the names.
"If you own an .australian Web site you need to know who we are," screamed an orange and grey advertisement the nation's domain regulator placed in several newspapers.

Things could get rough if bad guys blend physical and virtual attacks, says VeriSign CEO Stratton Sclavos.
Domain names--a hot issue for businesses looking to protect their identity online. ZDNet Australia talks to ICANN's CEO about changes which are afoot in the policy arena.
An Internet taskforce is calling for increased accuracy of domain-name owner data and the elimination of bulk marketing that uses domain-name information.
In defending against hackers and malicious users, admins can't neglect local security. One way to help lock down Windows NT systems is to hide the username of the previously logged on user, as this registry tip demonstrates.
Lots of people think .com when they think about the Web. If the domain you use has an extension other than .com, you can bet that potential visitors will get it wrong.
