Whether you want to define yourself as a New Zealand-based business or establish your own local website for personal use, a .nz domain extension is the way to go. Using a .nz domain increases your chances of appearing in local search results and can improve brand recognition for your business when you want to cater to a local audience.
The .nz domain is New Zealand’s country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD), giving it a leg up against second level domains like .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz or .ac.nz when it comes to regional search results.
Using a .nz domain increases trust in your website, both from a search engine perspective and in the eyes of visitors. Kiwis are more likely to click on a .nz web address over .com domains because it shows that they’re connecting with a local business rather than an international company. Those extra clicks will boost your local search results, so you’ll see improved ranking and greater visibility for your website.
Absolutely anyone can get a .nz domain. You don’t need to be a registered business to get one, which makes them ideal for company websites and personal blogs alike. Not only that, but .nz domain extensions are shorter and simpler to use, especially when you want to promote through social media.
Plus, since fewer .nz domains are currently registered, you’ve got a better chance of buying your preferred domain name before it gets snapped up.
Yes. All .nz domain names are given a unique password at registration, which can be used to transfer them to another registrar. On the OnlyDomains website, just enter your existing domain(s) and the passcode, and click Transfer.
We can handle transfers of up to 1,000 domains at a time. And there's no additional cost for most TLDs.
Transfer your existing domains to OnlyDomains and keep everything controlled in one simple and easy to manage account.
Please note that in some extensions activating a transfer will renew your domain therefore a renew fee will be charged when placing your transfer order. After the transfer is processed, your domain name will be updated with the new expiry date.
Transfer procedures vary, so don't hesitate to contact our Support team for any clarification on how to transfer your domain(s) to OnlyDomains.
