.net domains
Register a .net domain — $35/year, same at renewal
A .net costs $35 a year including GST at Chill Domains, and renewal is the same list price. Like .com, it’s run by Verisign and open to anyone, anywhere. It’s the usual fallback when the .com you wanted is already taken.
Type just the name — we’ll assume .net on this page.

| Transfer time | Usually 5–7 days once the auth code (EPP code) is accepted |
Premium names: some registries charge more for certain names. If you pick one, checkout shows the first-year and renewal price before you pay.
Before you settle for the .net
.net was originally meant for network providers, but that was never a registration rule. Today anyone can register a .net for any kind of site.
If you’re taking the .net because the .com is gone, look at who owns the .com first. People type .com out of habit, so some visitors and some email may end up with whoever holds it.
For an Australian business, .com.au or the direct .au is often a better fallback than .net, if you’re eligible. You can check any domain’s WHOIS record with our free lookup tools.
