Webcentral (Webcentral Group, trading as Melbourne IT)

.com.au registrar in Australia, read from its own storefront on 2026-09-29

Accredited by auDA

Can a member of the public buy a .com.au here?

Its own page offers .com.au through a English storefront, but on 2026-09-29 it printed no .com.au price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the Australia page as read and not ranked.

Why it is not ranked

The page prints .com.au at AUD 29.95 standing and 14.95 for the first year, but no GST wording on the page read, so whether 29.95 includes 10% GST is not established.

Namespaces on its own page

.com.au.au.net.au.org.au.com.net.co.melbourne

What its page printed

.com.au: "$29.95 50% off $14.95 / 1st yr"; "*Discount applies to the first year on selected new domain registrations." An "AUD" selector in the header; no GST wording on the page read. melbourneit.com.au, the group's other retail site, prints no .com.au price on its domain page.

Read from https://webcentral.au/domains on 2026-09-29. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the Australia storefronts were read

Eleven of auDA's 32 accredited entities, the retail brands on its public provider directory, plus GoDaddy's Australian storefront, were opened in a real browser on 2026-09-29. Australian retail pages print a dollar figure without naming the currency or the GST treatment (VentraIP, Webcentral), or print no price at all before a search (Cheaper Domains, DDNS, Domain Central, GoHosting, Instra), so no accredited storefront yielded a comparable standing price. Crazy Domains is on the provider directory as a reseller, not on the accredited list, and answered a bot wall in any case. OVHcloud's Australian storefront, which is not auDA-accredited but prints ".com.au A$18.50 EX. GST", is recorded in registrar-locales.json and reaches the Australia page through the eligibility gate. Australia's GST is a 10% value-added tax; vat_rate carries it. On 2026-10-14 the remaining 13 registrars on auDA's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 12 were read, 1 could not be, and 0 more print a comparable .com.au price.
