I'm sure that they provide a fine service, but don't forget that you
can have a domain (and thus an email address) for *life* by way of the
.id.au domain mechanism.

Plenty of ISPs around the country participate in this mechanism, there
are also non-ISP alternatives for interested parties, pricing is very
reasonable (and free under some circumstances) and there are
mechanisms in place to pick up the service if any given .id.au ISP
disappears.

In short. Your .id.au domain should be safe regardless of what
happens.

If you are after further info, I believe that there is a web page
around the traps. Can someone provide the URL (is it at Fulcrum?).

Disclaimer: Sure, we provide a .id.au domain service, but a trivial
analysis of most .id.au ISPs shows that pretty much every participant
supports the principal of .id.au at a very nominal cost. In other
words, shop around as all the prices are excellent.


Regards.
