The role of the Domain Name Commission is to manage the .nz domain name space and to protect the interests and rights of everyone involved in using it.

.nz is our home. By using a .nz domain name we show that we are unique, and we are able to be instantly located in the online world. Choosing a memorable name within .nz  - from .govt to .maori; .co to .geek; and from .mil to .ac. - and your online address will be highly specific to your identity.

After all, just as .nz is the home of New Zealanders, your URL is your home and should speak volumes for you.

This website provides resources that may assist you if you’re making a choice about the registration of .nz domain names, or if you have concerns about the management of your name.  We’re here to meet your needs, so if you need further assistance, or can see something that would improve our service, please contact us at info@dnc.org.nz
