.AU Domain Name Statistics

November 7, 2014

The report, published by .AU registry operator AusRegistry, states New South Wales residents hold the most number of registrations (just under 1 million) followed by Victoria with 785,993 and Queensland's 567,803. Northern Territorians hold the least number (12,032), but the report points out results correlate with state and territory populations.

At the time the report was compiled (September 2014), 2,881,387 .AU domain names were currently registered. That has since grown to 2,913,479 (current as at November 7).

Other insights:

The report - titled "Behind the Dot, The State of the .au Domain" (PDF) - is part of a new quarterly series from AusRegistry.
