Registering a Domain Name
How is a .nz Domain Name Registered?
.nz domain names can not be registered through NZRS. To register and use a domain name you must use the services of an authorised domain name registrar. The registrar you choose will determine the cost for registering a domain name. A name can be registered for between 1 month and 120 months (10 years). The registrar will ask you to provide contact and technical information to have on record.

<back How long can I register a domain name for?
The length of time that a domain name can be registered for is dependant on the registrar. It can range from 1 month to 120 months (10 years).
<back What domain names are available to be registered?
Simply entering the domain name you would like to have into the WHOIS search facility will be enough for the search facility to respond with the availability of the domain name and if already registered, return the identity and contact details of the registrant.
<back Can I reserve a domain name?
Domain names cannot be reserved. They are registered on a "first come, first served" basis. Any conflict between an applicant or other party and an existing registrant is up to those parties to resolve.
