Join the .nz Domain Revolution

22 October 2014 > General, Technology,

Claim your .nz Domain Today. For the first time ever 'second level' domains like the .co in '.co.nz' and the .org in '.org.nz' are going to become optional. You'll be able to get .nz names with them, without them, or both.

In the past your domain provider may have registered your domains on your behalf like company.co.nz or company.net.nz. Recently a new domain suffix has been created where you can just use company.nz.

This would mean your email address would be something like john@company.nz, and your website would be www.company.nz

You have 6 months to register your existing domain with the .nz suffix (as long as you are the unique holder of the existing domain) at which time this domain would be available to anyone who wishes to purchase it.

If you would like to secure your .nz domain name and align and manage it with your existing domains then you should contact your domain provider. The costs to do this should be in line with domain fees you already pay with that provider. It would be our recommendation that you register this domain through an existing provider that you use as this simplifies ongoing management and changes you may want to make in the future. 

Why is This Happening?

Some of the main reasons for this change include:

  • More choice in .nz domain names.
  • More representative domain names.
  • Shorter domain names.
  • Aligning New Zealand with many other countries that have already made this change.

Contact us if you think that we are your domain provider and we will let you know.

I have enjoyed attending the EXO User Community Workshops and find them very helpful. The group is a valuable resource that provides a great opportunity to discuss issues and solutions with other users. It is also great to learn about new products and features available, and promotes continual improvements which make our use of EXO easier and more efficient.
