    • .NET.NZ (for organizations and service providers directly related to the NZ Internet)

    • .ORG.NZ (for non-profit organizations)

  2. .NZ domain names can only contain alphabets a to z, numbers 0 to 9 and hyphens. However, domain names cannot have two hyphens in the third place. The minimum length permitted is 1 character while the maximum length is 63 characters (excluding the .NZ extension).

  3. A .NZ domain name will not have any Money Back Period.

  4. The total number of Name Servers and Child Name Servers taken together should not exceed 10 in case of a .NZ domain name.

  5. Each Child Name Server under a .NZ domain name can have only one IPv4 Address associated with it.

  6. In case of a .NZ domain name, only the Registrant Contact information needs to be provided and hence, the Contact Details view will display only the Registrant Contact.

  11. Redemption Grace Period for a .NZ domain name is 90 days. Moreover, there is no Pending Delete period. The domain name will be straightaway released for fresh registration post the Redemption Grace Period.
