Professional practitioners now have a top-level domain reserved just for them, and the domain name industry is working hard to keep it that way.
The .au Domain Administrator has commenced a new policy on transferring domain name registrations which some in the industry are calling the final nail in the coffin for Melbourne IT.
The number of Australian domain names has increased by 24 percent, according to the au Domain Administrator.
The .au domain name administrator has moved to stop resellers claiming customers must transfer their domain name registration to their registrar of choice as a "technical requirement" of the Web-site hosting process.
Australia's domain name industry regulator has moved to tighten reseller compliance with its policies and codes in proposed changes to the current regulatory system.
"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.
A Sydney Web-based business has been stripped of its registered domain name with only 24 hours notice by an administrative body, after it was found to have "wrongly lapsed" from its original owner early last year.
