About .net.nz

A .net.nz domain is the country code domain for New Zealand, and it sits under the .nz country code. It is operated by .NZ Registry Services, which is part of InternetNZ. Because it belongs to New Zealand, a .net.nz domain is a familiar choice for people and organisations with a connection to the country.

The registry supports DNSSEC, so your domain can be signed to help protect the DNS records that point to your website and email. You can register internationalised names with non-Latin characters, and your name can be between 1 and 63 characters long. You do not need a local presence in New Zealand to register one.

A .net.nz domain suits you when your audience is in New Zealand or you want a clear local identity. Before you register, check the term you want, because registrations run for at least one year and renew one year at a time.

Who can register .net.nz

Registration is open to anyone.

  • Registrants can be individuals or organisations, from anywhere in the world.
  • You do not need a New Zealand presence to register a .net.nz domain.
  • Your contact details must be accurate, as the registry may check them.

Transferring .net.nz

  • A transfer is usually completed within a day once the UDAI code is supplied.
  • A transfer does not change the expiry date of your domain.
