Business owners can now register or renew com.au and net.au domain names for just AUD $38.

Domain Central, an auDA accredited registrar, today announced that it has crashed through the AUD $40 barrier and is selling com.au and net.au domains at just $38/2-years.

The company claims that the combined number of .com.au and .net.au domains reached 550,000 in September, 2005. Reaching this milestone also signified the 3rd Registry price drop which equates to a five-dollar price reduction off the Registry wholesale fee for a .com.au and .net.au.

"This is not a promotion! We aim to increase the Internet's accessibility for all businesses trading in Australia," says George Pongas, COO, Domain Central. "We were the first to break through the $50 barrier at $49/2-years, and are now the first to break through the $40 retail price point too."
