I was wondering if there is any further info for an eta on when .com.au will become an option in Cloudflare registrar.
In the past during a related support email I was given an eta of roughly the start of 2019 but that getting all the requirements for non standard tld just taking its due time.
Work for Cloudflare but an outside observer to the process internally. Work is definitely ongoing with the various Country TLD registrars. Watching from the outside it looks like there is a lot (A LOT) of paperwork involved… makes me very happy I am just an observer to be honest.
Announcing dates is hard because until final approval is given you just don’t know. I don’t know the specific status for .com.au but even if we have submitted final paperwork there we’d probably be loathe to provide a guestimate for support because there are just so many variables out of our control.
Unsatisfying answer I admit, but I’ll make sure the PM for Registrar knows our OZ brothers and sisters are eagerly awaiting the announcement.
Is there a timeline on this or is there no motivation from Cloudflare? Considering 1.1.1.1 is AU-Australia APNIC assigned I’d thought it would be embarrassing not to also be auDA Accredited Registrars?
Just adding another vote for .au domains to be added… I have many of them I’d love to transfer across. Get all my domain management in one single place!
Google Domains now offer the ability to purchase .com.au domains. No support for transferring a domain as of yet. But looks to be a good solution while I wait for Cloudflare.
Out of curiosity, why would you want to so desperately transfer the domain to Cloudflare? It’s not like there are no good registrars out there and Cloudflare still has lots of limitations anyhow.
