For commercial entities, such as companies (with ACN as registered through ASIC), and businesses (registered with state governments).- .id.au
For individuals who are Australian citizens or residents.- .org.au
For charities and non-profit organisations.
What are Top Level Domains?
Wikipedia describes Top Level Domains (TLDs) as such:
"Every domain name ends in a top-level domain (TLD) name, which is always either one of a small list of generic names (three or more characters), or a two-character territory code based on ISO-3166 (there are few exceptions and new codes are integrated case by case). Top-level domains are sometimes also called first-level domains."

Domain Name Help :
Keep it Short - But Be Aware Remember to keep your proposed domain name short and to the point. The less there is to remember, the more clients or everyday web surfers will recall it at a later date. The only real concern these days is that many domains with short names are long gone.
You might also find that some other organisations may already have your domain name registered, even though they are doing nothing with it. Be careful! It's commonly known as "domain aftermarket", in which previously registered domain names are up "for sale".
Keep it Clear Domain names can't have spaces, but hyphens can be used to split up names which might confuse visitors, e.g., www.powergenitalia.com which, unless you know that it refers to the Italian Power Generator Co., can lead to misunderstandings.
Still, use of a hyphen can be misleading for some. When typing in the name for example, one can easily forget where the one or two hyphens might go, and this can lead to your browser pointing to an empty page, or worse, leading potential customers to a rival client.
Hosting Packages - What's Best for You Basically it boils down to what you need a website to do for you. If you're planning an online business and expect plenty of traffic, then we suggest a premium package.
If you're simply putting your family album or perhaps the family tree online so other family members can view it, and expect little other traffic, then we suggest the Lite Plan.
A Standard Plan is for those just starting out, and want to feel the water before committing to something bigger and more expansive.
