lorikeet.id.au registration page
Last updated: 01/06/12

You have found the registration page for one of the original nine id.au sub-domains, lorikeet.id.au, maintained by Paul Day.

id.au was set aside within the Australian domain space for registration by Australian individuals. Originally, you could not directly register a sub-domain of .id.au and instead had to register with one of the nine id.au sub-domains, of which lorikeet.id.au is one. These days, if you're an Australia resident, you can register your own id.au sub-domain (based on your name). How-ever, lorikeet.id.au is still alive and well, responding to emails within a timely manner and operational on a set of five name-sevrers distributed around Australia for maximum redundancy.

Any Australian individual is still more than welcome to request a free sub-domain within the lorikeet.id.au domain-space.
