Australian Domain Name Transfer Policy Reminder
Published April 16th, 2009 by Paul De AudneyIf you follow Australian business news you may have read in the technology news yesterday that auDA has terminated Bottle Domains (Australian Style Pty Ltd) registrar accreditation. This means if you have a domain registered with Bottle Domains or one of its resellers, you will not be able to renew your domain name with that company.
It is possible to transfer .au domain names to another registrar within your registration period free of charge. The remaining period of registration will be carried over to that different registrar. Once your domain name is within 90 days of expiring you will be able to renew your domain name.
If you would like to transfer your domain name to Anchor Systems, you can complete the free domain transfer process online at https://www.anchor.com.au/domain-name-registration/domain-transfer.py, you will need to know your domain name password to complete this process.
If you need to retrieve your domain password, you should ensure you have access to the email address listed on the whois information. You can check your domains records by using our whois tool located here.
If you are unsure on how to complete any of these steps or retrieve your domain name registry key/password please contact our support line on 1300 883 979.
