Hi Tim

There is no way of knowing why a person has registered a domain name. The
legal aspect appears to be very much in the cowboy stakes. If someone has
registered a domain name you want or even one that applies to your business
you realistically have little chance of getting it without spending a
fortune in court costs.

John

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply, but if you register a business name and then
you go registering domain names, how would you know if you are
registering those domain name for commercial use or profiteering or just
holding to these names for what ever reason.

Regards

Tim

Hi Tim

These days the rules have relaxed considerably, however each domain name
registered in the .com.au space has to be owned by a business. The old
policy where a domain name has to be derived from a business name no
longer applies but each domain name must be registered to a business.
This is for .com.au names I am talking about. The business doesn't need
to be trading or meet any particular criteria other than be a registered
name. I have a few domain names registered under my business name.

Best Regards,

John

Hi All
I know I wrote about this yesterday, but could I get some feed back from
some you guys who know about this allot more than me.

Q1: When you register a domain name in com.au, should you have a
business already running before you register that domain name or.....
Q2: How long do they have before they start using the domain name for
commercial use

Kind Regards

Timothy
