Why should I register an .id.au Domain Name?

A .id.au Domain Name indicates that the Registrant is Australian and an individual.
By registering a .id.au Domain Name the Registrant will reserve their own personal place in the virtual world.

For instance:

If your name happens to be John Black you may want to register: www.black.id.au. But if black.id.au is taken you then may be able to register a variation of your name, such as: jblack.id.au or johnblack.id.au or even a personal name by which you are known, blackie.id.au.

Naturally, this will allow you to set up an email address to suit, such as:

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Your name becomes your very own email address!
