Why should I register an .id.au domain name?

An .id.au domain name reflects two important qualities - being Australian and being individual. By registering your .id.au domain name you are reserving your own personal place in the virtual world. For example:

If your name happens to be John Black you may want to register:
black.id.au

But if black.id.au is taken you are then able to register a variation of your name. For example:
jblack.id.au
or johnblack.id.au

Naturally this will allow you to set up an email address to suit. For example:
john@black.id.au
john@jblack.id.au
j@johnblack.id.au

Your name becomes your very own email address!

If I already have an email address why should I register an .id.au domain name?

Most significantly, once set up as an email address, your .id.au name can follow you anywhere. No more changing email addresses when you move or change service providers. Your .id.au email address will be the virtual address you keep for life.*
