Historic Second-level Domains

Some second-level domain names are no longer actively used. Whilst registrations are grand-fathered for some, no new registrations are accepted.

  • .archie.au - Host of the Archie information service of the early 1990s. Has since been deleted
  • .conf.au - Conferences and other short-lived events, now only exists for linux.conf.au.
  • .gw.au - Gateways and miscellaneous AARNet routing equipment. Has since been deleted
  • .info.au - General information
  • .otc.au - A mapping domain for X.400 addresses; was obsoleted by telememo.au. Has since been deleted
  • .oz.au - Historical domain name for Australian sites. Australia's original top-level domain for use in the store-and-forward Internet messaging system MHSnet was .oz. The top-level domain later officially became .au and those domains in .oz were moved to .oz.au. As of April 2011, many subdomains under cs.mu.oz.au and ee.mu.oz.au are still in use for SSH access to servers within the CSSE and EEE departments of the University of Melbourne.
  • .telememo.au - A mapping domain for X.400 addresses. Has since been deleted

Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or domains:

    It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
