Quotes from agencies, brokers and indie founders working the .au long tail.

“I'd been watching a short .com.au for nearly two years. DomainShark pinged it on the drop list the morning it came back into the pool and I had it registered before lunch. The SharkDEX history saved me a deep dive through the Wayback Machine.”
Liam P. Founder (Brisbane)
“We use it on every new client onboarding. The SharkDEX score is a quick sanity check on whether a name has the bones for SEO or whether the client should keep looking. The detail page covers about 90% of what I'd otherwise pull manually.”
Priya R. Director (Sydney)
“I run a portfolio of around 800 .au names. The drop pipeline view and the search filters are what I open first every morning. I've picked up at least a dozen sleepers this year that turned over in the marketplace within weeks.”
Marco P. Domain investor (Melbourne)
“Transferred eleven domains across from my old registrar last month. Took maybe twenty minutes total. The handoff is honest, no upsell carousel, no ‘protection’ tickboxes hidden behind a confirm screen.”
Ashleigh C. Independent marketer (Perth)
“For a tiny team like ours, the SharkDEX is the closest thing we've had to a research department. Search is fast, the slug URLs play nicely with our internal tooling, and the data has actually been right when we go to register.”
Daniel N. Cofounder (Adelaide)
Common questions

The .au stuff people ask first.

If your question isn't here, our contact form goes straight to a human.

The SharkDEX is our search index of Australian domain names that have been allowed to expire and become re-registrable. We've been logging .au drops since 2013 and the dataset covers 3,852,295 records. Search returns availability, length, age, hyphens, history and a SharkDEX score out of 100 for each name.

.com.au is the traditional commercial Australian namespace, used since 1986. The shorter .au launched in March 2022 and is open to any individual or organisation with a verified Australian presence. Both require Australian eligibility, an ABN, ACN, ARBN, registered trade mark, or (for .id.au) Australian citizenship or permanent residency. Many businesses register both to protect the brand.

Yes for commercial Australian TLDs (.com.au, .net.au and open .au). For personal use, .id.au is open to Australian citizens and permanent residents without an ABN. Your registrar validates eligibility against the official registers in real time during checkout, no paperwork to upload.

Yes, once a domain has fully dropped via auDA's renewal-grace-redemption-drop process, it is available for anyone with the right eligibility to register fresh. The SharkDEX only includes records confirmed as unregistered. If a previous registrant believes a listing is in error, they can submit a removal request from any domain page or via /remove.

No, SharkDEX search is free. Guests get a lifetime quota and free members get a higher daily quota plus saved searches. Each search costs 5 tokens; "Surprise me" costs 1 token.
The story so far

Watching the .au drop since 2013.

DomainShark started life as a tiny scraper logging Australian domains as they expired. More than a decade later we've collected 3,544,358 available records, built scoring around length, hyphens, history and wayback presence, and turned it into the SharkDEX, a search engine for the long tail of pre-loved Australian domains.

Today we help individuals, agencies and brokers find names that already have life in them, register fresh ones, and move portfolios around. Everything runs on the same dataset that's been growing daily for over ten years.
