    About .nr domain

    .nr is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) delegated for Nauru. The registry and sponsoring organization is CenpacNet, with the domain becoming active in 1998. It is a standard ccTLD product where registrations are available directly at the second level or under various functional second-level domains.

    Who can register .nr domain

    Registration for most .nr domains is open to the public without geographic restriction. The applicant must be of legal age and warrant that the registration does not infringe on third-party rights. Specific second-level domains, namely .gov.nr and .edu.nr, are restricted for use by appropriate government and educational institutions within Nauru.

    How to register .nr domain

    1. Search for your desired .nr domain name's availability on the CenpacNet registry website or through a participating registrar that offers this extension.
    2. Choose your registration level, noting that a direct second-level registration (e.g., example.nr) is typically more expensive than registering under a third level like .com.nr or .org.nr.
    3. Complete the checkout process, providing accurate registrant information and paying the required fee for your chosen registration term.
    4. Finalize the registration by verifying your contact details and configuring your domain's DNS settings to point to your web hosting or email service.

    Typical uses of .nr domain

    The .nr extension sees its primary use for entities connected with Nauru, such as local businesses, government services, and educational institutions. Outside of Nauru, it has gained niche popularity for creative domain hacks, where the "nr" letters form part of a word or brand name (e.g., domai.nr). These users often choose it for its short, memorable length and the unique branding opportunities it presents compared to more common alternatives.

    Tips for registering .nr domain

    • Registrations are available directly at the second level (e.g., name.nr) or at the third level under categories like .com.nr and .org.nr, with second-level registrations commanding a significantly higher price.
    • The registry's terms require the registrant to be of legal age and to confirm the domain registration does not infringe on a third party's legal rights.
    • The dispute policy for .nr domains follows the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP).
    • Specific second-level domains .gov.nr and .edu.nr are reserved exclusively for verified government and educational entities within Nauru.

    While most .nr domains are open for global registration, the registrant must be of legal age. The only exceptions are for the restricted second-level domains .gov.nr and .edu.nr, which are allocated solely to verified Nauruan government and educational institutions, respectively.

    Can I transfer a .nr domain between registrars?

    Transfers of .nr domains between registrars are possible, governed by standard ICANN transfer policies. The process typically requires obtaining an authorization code from the current registrar and initiating the transfer with the gaining registrar, ensuring the domain is not within a 60-day lock period following a previous registration or transfer.

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

    Registering a domain directly at the second level under .nr (e.g., example.nr) is substantially more expensive than registering a name at the third level under a category like .com.nr. The registry's listed price for a second-level registration is typically multiple times higher than the fee for a third-level registration.

    Are there any content or usage restrictions for a .nr domain?

    Beyond the legal age requirement and a warranty against infringing third-party rights, there are no specific content policies outlined in the general registration agreement. However, all domain usage must comply with applicable laws, and the registry likely retains standard rights to suspend domains involved in illegal activity.

    Can I register a domain under .biz.nr or .info.nr?

    Yes, registrations under .biz.nr and .info.nr are available and unrestricted, similar to .com.nr, .org.nr, and .net.nr. These provide more affordable alternatives to a direct second-level .nr registration while still utilizing the extension.
