Yes you do need a name to register the domain.. doesn't have to be a company (P/L), just a business. NetRegistry probably go through melbourneIT.. so they probably add their bit on.. just get the best price.
Process takes 2 hours or 2 days.. depending how much you want to pay.. 2 days is around $140 I think.. it's been a while.. >$300 for 2 hours.. thanks, George Vieira Network Engineer Citadel Computer Systems P/L -----Original Message----- From: Matt - [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Domain Name Registration Hi everyone, I have recently been interested in registering a domain name for myself. I am guessing that this SLUG list has a pretty large group of people who know the ins and outs of domain registration so I was hoping I could get some experienced information. Firstly, I want it to be a .com.au domain name. Does this mean I HAVE TO register a business name with the words I want in my domain name ? So if I want to register joespizza.com.au I need to own a business name "Joes Pizza Pty Ltd" ? Is this the only way to do it ? Secondly, where should I go to do this at the best price ? Can you guys please distinguish the difference between NetRegistry.com.au, MelbourneIT.com.au and inww.com ? Who should I go to, are the prices fixed ? Thirdly, how long does the process take ? Thanks very much guys, any extra advice will appreciated. I'm sure some of you know some tricks that will speed up the process and/or make it easier. Thanks again ! :) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
