There's no difference. Nothing. Zip. Nada.
It's just a matter of profit markups, I think that for each .au
domain name, the registrar pays $45-50 to the Australian Domain
Authority (ie AuDA).
Personally, I recommend Bottle Domains... call them on 1300 88 74 74
or check out http://www.bottledomains.com.au ... tell them what price
you saw the domain name at, and they'll match it. Why Bottle?
Because they have a toll free phone number, regular staff (ie it's
always the same people, and they are sensible), and their web site is
by far the best when it comes to updating domain name details. And
the bloke that owns the company also runs it hands on. Oh yeah, the
owner (Nick) is also a Mac bloke, he's got a PowerBook G4 and he's
recently been buying heaps of Xserves for web hosting.
I've dealt with a bunch of different registrars over the last couple
of years, and I've found Bottle to be the easiest to deal with so far.
MelbourneIT are a bit like Telstra... their services aren't anything
spectacular, but their name recognition lets them get away with
charging higher prices than others, and many people still go to them
by default.
Regards,
Phil
Why would I register a domain name with Melbourne IT for $140.00 for
2 years when Conexim Australia would do it for $79.00? Or
Netregistry for $55.00?
I can't discern any differences ... would someone enlighten me?
Cheers,
Tobes.
