Registering Domain Names o'seas?

[sportsforum]

Hi I have a domain name I want to register which is a .com domain name.
Im in Australia and here we need to be able to prove that the domain name will relate to our business etc.
The domain name i want which is .com, i want to know if I can register and park it in the USA?

ANyone got any ideas if I will come up against any red tape so to speak, or is their any bridges I need to cross to get this done or can I just DO IT?

Also anyone got any suggestions who I should do it with on the CHEAP CHEAP $$$

Thanks in advance....

There are no country restrictions for registering .com domains.
Or are you referring to government regulations?

Government restrictions company laws etc is what Im getting at.

Any laws governing the ownership and use of domain names etc.

The cheapest we can purchase and park domain names is AUD$44.95

Can I get it cheapers in USA....

The laws are for .com.au names. I'm australian and I have hundreds of .com names. Yes you can buy a .com name and park it in the USA.

If you are talking about parking .com.au names, forget it.

You can register a .com name without any restrictions in Australia, the restrictions only apply to .*.au names (.com.au, .net.au, etc). Just be careful to avoid the Australian registrars - they charge way too much. Pick a decent international registrar/reseller and you'll only be up for $7-10/year. Check the huge GoDaddy thread for discounts there, or try NameCheap, Moniker, or even right here at NamePros.
