Australian domain name registrations hit 2 million
Around two million .au Australian domain names have now been registered, according to new research.
Figures from AusRegistry, the country's domain name organisation, reveal that as of last month, 85.99 per cent of domain names in the country were com.au, while 10.8 per cent were for net.au.
The country's figures compare to the 93 million .com domain names that are now registered across the world, while Germany's .de suffix tops country-specific addresses.
Glenn Gore, the chief technology officer at Melbourne IT, told smh.com.au that more Australian firms are looking to get their domain name.
''It was good for business in how people trust those companies using a .com.au address,'' he told the news provider.
''If it ends in .com.au, you know that it was not some fly-by-night operation. There has to be a real business behind it.''
Earlier this week it was revealed that domain registration has commenced in Qatar as the country unveiled its registry office.
