About .auspost domain
.auspost is a brand gTLD operated by the Australian Postal Corporation. It was applied for during ICANN's New gTLD Program with a reveal date of June 13, 2012. As a brand TLD, its primary purpose is for exclusive use by the registry operator, not for public registration. The extension is intended to serve as a secure and controlled namespace for the operator's digital assets and communications.
Who can register .auspost domain
Registration is not open to the general public. This TLD is a closed, single-registrant brand TLD, meaning only the Australian Postal Corporation, the registry operator itself, can register domains under .auspost. There is no process for third-party entities or individuals to apply for or acquire these domains.
How to register .auspost domain
This TLD is not allocated through commercial registrars or a public registration process. Domain names under .auspost are delegated internally by the Australian Postal Corporation for its own use. The registry operator controls all aspects of the namespace, deciding which second-level domains to create and how they are used. There is no external application or purchase process for this extension.
Typical uses of .auspost domain
As a brand TLD, .auspost domains are used exclusively by the Australian Postal Corporation for its online services, corporate websites, and secure communications. This allows the organization to create a unified and trusted digital identity, such as using track.auspost for parcel tracking or pay.auspost for financial services. The extension reinforces brand authenticity and security for customers interacting with the postal service online.
Tips for registering .auspost domain
- As a single-registrant TLD, all domains are held and managed solely by the registry operator, with no secondary market for registration or transfer.
- There are no public pricing, renewal terms, or WHOIS privacy services, as the namespace is entirely private.
- The registry maintains full control over all policies, including dispute resolution, which would be handled internally.
