Top DNS Providers in Australia
Hosting and DNS have come apart. Here's who actually answers DNS across the .au namespace.
DNS by nameserver host
Measured by the actual nameserver domain answering for each domain. domaincontrol.com (GoDaddy's nameservers) leads with 21.4% of .au domains. These are the raw nameserver hostnames, not the companies behind them; see the next chart for the parent-company rollup.

DNS grouped by parent company
The same nameservers rolled up to the company that runs them. Sister brands merge: Synergy Wholesale and VentraIP are one group, and Netregistry, Melbourne IT and Web Address Registration are Webcentral Group. VentraIP and Webcentral are not related.
