The number of .au domain name registrations will hit the one million mark this month, Australia's registry operator said.
Since 2002 the number of commercial .au names has risen by over 750,000, AusRegistry said in a statement.

"The growth of .au is nothing short of astounding," AusRegistry managing director Adrian Kinderis said. ".au has sustained an impressive 25 per cent growth each year for the past 5 years".

AusRegistry oversees back office responsibilities of registering and wholesaling the .au domain name, while policy and regulation is handled by Auda (Australian domain name administrator).
