What a week!!
Direct .au officially closed for applications for existing domain holders of .au tokens at 9:59 am AEST time. A mad rush till last seconds and many tried right after only to be disappointed. Direct au hit 300,000 earlier this month but with the mad rush we anticipate to have hit closer to 400,000 now.
Drop clients definitely waited to the last and a good percent of domains under management were applied for. Drop numbers of domains under management before direct .au 71,951 grew to over 110,000 (including contested name applications).
October 4 is anticipated to be huge as around 3 million existing .au domains become available to register. If you do not have a Drop.com.au account please register as official bidding will start on 27 September. It will be first come first served based on existing pricing tiers, so get your lists ready and bid early.
Bitcoin.com.au sold for a site and domain deal for AU$3,000,000 congrats to Domenic Carosa who put the site and other bitcoin domain extensions for sale in July this year, who was looking at the time for a 2-4 week sale process. Took a little bit longer but the final amount was well worth the wait.
