101 Domains Domain Information Update ".nu" domains.

Oceanian domains: Niue (.nu)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Niue domain type, ie. “nu”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.nu” enter “101domains” and nothing else.

The only letters allowed within a domain name are: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

Once the domain is registered

All Niue domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Niue domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Niue domain name registrar.

Background

.nu is the Internet country code top-level domain name (ccTLD) for the island state of Niue.

Operated by NU. Domain Ltd. and sponsored by the Internet Users Society of Niue, .nu became one of the first ccTLDs to be marketed as an alternative to the international domains .com, .org and .net. It is intended for entities connected with the island state of Niue (also known as the 'Rock of Polynesia'), the smallest country in the world. The .nu domain name was introduced publicly in 1997. The domain name has become popular in countries such as Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Belgium because 'nu' is the Swedish, Dutch and Danish for 'now'.

Registrations take place directly at a second-level and the domain names may contain anywhere between 3 and 63 characters. These characters can only use letters from the Roman alphabet (a-z), digits (0-9) and hyphens (-). Hyphens can not be placed at the beginning or at the end of a domain. They cannot contain any other non-alphanumeric characters. There are certain multilingual characters that are accepted, too.
