Which .nz is the right one for me?

Simple. If you are a business you should at the very least secure the .co.nz version. net.nz is also becoming increasingly popular among technology businesses - and if you have a recognisable brand, product or company name, it is wise to secure both the net.nz and the co.nz versions to avoid competitors or cybersquatters poaching your traffic. org.nz is recommended for organisations, clubs, societies and other groups.

Who can register NZ Domain Names ?

Anyone is eligible to register names in the major New Zealand extensions such as co.nz, org.nz, net.nz - you do not need to be a New Zealand company to do so.

If you're using the web site or email for personal use such as a Blogg, you might prefer a geek.nz web site address.
Other .nz website addresses such as school.nz are intended for specific "communities of interes" or may be moderated (.govt.nz .mil.nz .cri.nz, .iwi.nz) which means that a determination is made by a nominated person or group as to whether or not you are eleigible to register in that particular extension.
