auDA Registrar

Information Brokers is accredited by auDA, the non-profit regulator for the .au domain name space, as a trusted Australian registrar.

Accredited registrars have contracts in place with both the regulator and registry, influencing the level of service they can provide to clients. In the Australian market, the level of service is tied to the price paid for registration services: the lower the price paid, the lower the level of service.

Lower priced registrars are often unable to provide a quality service, resorting to offshore support teams which can adversely affect some clients. Information Brokers don’t claim to be the cheapest, but the prices we offer for our quality services are very competitive relative to the marketplace. If you are seeking quality services and local support, you have come to the right place.
