Empowering Growth

Today, Melbourne IT manages more than 6 million domain names and is a truly global domain name registrar which supplies more than 40 different domain name types to customers across the globe.

In addition to its strong organic growth, Melbourne IT has also expanded its business through strategic acquisitions. In 2003, it purchased New Zealand-based domain name registrar, Domainz, which offers corporate domain management, reseller and direct domain services into the fast growing New Zealand market.

In April 2004, Melbourne IT acquired Cogent IPC, a European-based digital brand protection company which specialises in providing services to high profile internet based brands such as those in the airline, automotive, clothing, banking & finance, electrical, IT, furniture and food and beverage industries.

In September 2006, Melbourne IT cemented its position in the online services market with the acquisition of WebCentral Group, incorporating Australia's largest web and application hosting company, WebCentral. This acquisition has given Melbourne IT a significant sales capability within the developing Software as a Service (SaaS) market which provides customers with access to software via the Internet as an alternative to purchasing, installing and maintaining software on local computers.
