Domain names are purchased on a 12 month (for .com) or 24 month (for
com.au) license. So calling it $0.50 per week is bogus.

What happens is that when deciding what domain name to register the PHB
looks at the .AU domain costing him $90 or the .COM costing him $30.

Guess which one wins the prize?
