    About .na domain

    .na is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) delegated to Namibia. It is managed by the Namibian Network Information Centre (NA-NiC) with the registry operated by Omadhina Internet Services. The domain was established on 8 May 1991. It is a standard ccTLD sold through accredited registrars to the public.

    Who can register .na domain

    Registrations for .na domains are open to anyone globally; there are no restrictions based on citizenship or location. Both Namibian and foreign entities, including individuals, businesses, and organizations, can register. While open, registrants must comply with the registry's Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits unlawful activities.

    How to register .na domain

    1. Search for your desired .na domain name's availability through an accredited registrar's website. You can choose to register at the second level (e.g., example.na) or at various third levels (e.g., example.co.na).
    2. Compare prices and terms from different registrars, as end-user pricing is set competitively. Note that wholesale costs vary based on the registration level (second or third) and the registrant's location.
    3. Complete the checkout process with your chosen registrar, providing accurate contact details. You may have the option to add services like WHOIS privacy if offered by the registrar.
    4. Verify your contact information and configure your domain's DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point to your hosting provider. The domain becomes active once the registration is processed.

    Typical uses of .na domain

    The .na extension is primarily used by entities connected to Namibia, including local businesses, government organizations, and cultural institutions seeking a clear national identity online. It is fairly popular within the country, with common uses ranging from commercial ventures under .co.na to informational sites. International organizations with a presence or interest in Namibia also register .na domains to establish a localized web presence, choosing it over generic TLDs for its geographic relevance.

    Tips for registering .na domain

    • Registrations are available at both the second level (.na) and third level (e.g., .co.na, .com.na), with second-level domains typically carrying a premium wholesale cost.
    • The registry mandates compliance with an Acceptable Use Policy that prohibits activities like intellectual property infringement, deceptive practices, and distributing illegal content.

    Who can register a .na domain?

    While there are no geographic restrictions, the registry's Acceptable Use Policy applies to all registrants. This policy requires domains to be used for lawful purposes and prohibits activities like infringement, deception, or distributing illegal content. Both local and international registrars are accredited to sell .na domains, providing global access to the extension.

    Can I transfer a .na domain between registrars?

    Transfers of .na domains between accredited registrars are possible, typically following the industry-standard EPP transfer process. You will need to obtain an authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar and initiate the transfer with the gaining registrar. Ensure your domain is unlocked and that all contact information is up-to-date to avoid transfer delays.

    What is the difference between a second-level and a third-level .na domain?

    A second-level domain is registered directly under .na (e.g., myname.na), while a third-level domain is registered under a categorized second-level label like .co.na or .com.na. The second level is considered a premium offering and often has a higher wholesale cost. The registry offers several seemingly redundant third-level options, providing registrants with a choice of categorization.

    The Namibian Network Information Centre is a member of the Council of Country Code Administrators (CoCCA) and uses their Complaint Resolution Service (CRS) for dispute resolution. This policy addresses issues like bad faith registration, trademark infringement, and violations of the Acceptable Use Policy. The process is designed to be a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation.

    Are there any content restrictions for .na websites?

    Yes, the registry's Acceptable Use Policy explicitly prohibits specific types of content. This includes material that infringes intellectual property, is defamatory or threatening, violates privacy, or is considered obscene or offensive by Namibian standards. The registry reserves the right to take action against domains used for unlawful purposes.
