Hi Abhishek The country code for Australia is au and the administrator set up the system to follow the standard .com, .net and .org plus the country code. So I have "quad.com.au" and "quad.net.au". One enterprising company bought the Australian country code the second level domain in the .com TLD. This gave them"au.com". They've now made a good business with names such as "<yourname>.au.com" in competition with "<yourname>.com.au". Cute, eh? And that could be done with any country code. Regards Patrick Corliss
