Support for Australian *.au Domains

These domains are being pushed out to the public so that TLD.com.au domains can be handed back and used for businesses etc. That means there’s a significant number of individuals who will either shortly, or are already switching over to TLD.au and no Cloudflare registrar support. I’d like to bring mine over from GoDaddy.

Can you please advise a timeframe for this to occur?

Is there a reason why Cloudflare doesn’t currently support registration of .au domains?

I know this question has been asked in the past, but it’s been a while and it’s quite frustrating - I would much prefer to pay one company for everything.

Hi @Ben.F

.au is in our plans but we don’t have an ETA. The process of getting accredited for .au is quite onerous and will likely take time, but hopefully it will happen next year.

I would also like to use Cloudflare as the one true registrar to rule them all

I accidentally created another request for this: Support for Australian TLDs - #3 by alexazaia

I too am waiting for .au and .com.au support considering Google Domains is moving to Squarespace.

I’ve just migrated to Cloudflare from Google because Squarespace won’t support DNS.
I would also like to be able to use Cloudflare as my registrar to consolidate it all, if this is coming soon I’ll stick with Google/Squarespace for now, but would like to know when it comes around.

Really hanging out for .au domains – we have 100’s across our clients we’d like to migrate to Cloudflare for registration/renewals.

Any updates on this process?

Anyone got any recent info, official or otherwise, about if/when CF will support the .*au ccTLD? Everything else I have is with CF now but still with GoDaddy (ugh) for .*au. I can see people have been asking for about 5 years, hoping SOMEONE at CF has it on their to-do list.

Yup, same again (here) - have a backlog of Google Domains customers to move somewhere, but it’s only going to be somewhere that can handle all the TLDs I have, and some are .com.au

Cloudflare, if they had .com.au support, would be top of the list and all domains would head this way in a flash…

Absolutely! We’d move everything across and refer Cloudflare to our Australian clients. But not when it can only support some domains and not others. Any updates on this Cloudflare?

Hi @louise2, any update for this?

Have some patience man…the community has only been waiting 5 years or so for .com.au :joy:

Is there an update on this?

Has this progressed at all? Lack of these means we need to move the business to Route 53, which means we’ll need to migrate everything off Cloudflare, need to centralize management. Hate giving any extra $ to B, and have pushed this out - no updates means no progress. Bummer.

@louise2 can we please get an update here?

@itsmikel When new TLDs become available they will be listed on the following page:

When can we expect .au and .com.au to be available?

The answer hasn’t changed any since the last times you asked, three months ago and nine months ago. You can expect the domains to be available when they appear on the list, no sooner.

While it is helpful to indicate interest by voting on this topic, repeatedly asking here when a TLD will be available will not make that date occur any sooner.

@epic.network the last official response said that it would “hopefully” be this year. We are now at October and this year hasn’t come.
