Why is Synergy Wholesale showing up as the domain registrar in a WHOIS lookup?
If you've registered your domain name and are wondering why Synergy Wholesale is appearing in the WHOIS lookup data, but you have never heard of us. This will be due to the fact that we're a wholesale domain provider that only takes on partners who want to sell domain names to their own customers at the retail level.
If you want to find out which partner a domain name is registered through, you can use our Partner Lookup tool.
Or, if you cannot contact the partner, you can use our domain recovery tool.
(Please note that a Change of Registrant comes at a cost to the value of how many years you wish to hold the registration for. Changing the registrant will reset the domain’s license period.

Registration
New .au domain names can be registered for a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 5 years. A domain's initial registration period cannot exceed 5 years (1,825 days).
Sometimes. Different domain extensions are managed by different registries, and depending on how that registry processes transfers, you may need to renew the domain name as part of the transfer - others allow domain names to be transferred at no cost (retaining the original expiry period without a renewal).
