.nu registration
.nu is the country-code domain extension assigned to Niue, and it is available to individuals and organizations worldwide. It also reads as “now” in several Northern European languages, making it a natural fit for services, campaigns, media, and brands built around immediacy. Names may contain from 1 to 63 characters. Registration follows a first-come, first-served process without a special application stage. The registry does, however, require identifying details based on the holder type. Individuals provide an identity document number, such as a passport or national ID number. EU legal entities provide their EU VAT and company registration numbers, while legal entities elsewhere provide their company registration number. .nu supports internationalized names across a wide range of Latin characters, including Nordic and other European diacritics. This can help a domain match the spelling your audience actually uses. Before ordering through host.yt, prepare the registrant details in the correct holder fields so the registry can identify the owner and assess compliance with its rules. To transfer an existing .nu domain to host.yt, remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection and request the authorization code from the current registrar. A transfer can take several days, but it does not change the domain’s expiration date. A holder change uses a separate authentication process: both holders receive validation emails, and the request is cancelled if it is not completed within five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .nu extension stand for?
nu is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Niue. Beyond that geographic meaning, “nu” means “now” in languages including Swedish, Danish, and Dutch. This gives the extension an additional association with timely services, current content, launches, and action-oriented names.
Who can register a .nu domain?
nu is open to individuals and legal entities regardless of country. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligibility is broad, but every registrant must provide the holder information appropriate to their legal form so the registry can identify the domain owner.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .nu?
Yes. Individuals must provide an identity number, such as a passport or national ID number. EU legal entities must provide an EU VAT number and a company registration number. Legal entities outside the EU must provide their company registration number. Additional verification information may also be requested.
Is .nu a good choice, and what kinds of projects suit it?
nu suits projects connected with Niue as well as brands using its “now” meaning in Northern European languages. It can work well for news, media, live services, product launches, event campaigns, calls to action, and short brand names aimed at Nordic or Dutch-speaking audiences.
When does .nu make more sense than .com?
Choose .nu when the connection to Niue or the word “now” strengthens the name and communicates immediacy to your audience. Choose .com when global familiarity and a conventional commercial identity matter more. The trade-off is distinctive meaning with .nu versus broader automatic recognition with .com.
How quickly is .nu registered, and how long does registration last?
Registration is handled on a first-come, first-served basis without a special application procedure. Timing can vary if registrant details require validation. The registration term and resulting expiration date are confirmed in your host.yt order; renew the domain before that date to keep it active.
How do I transfer a .nu domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock and any other transfer protection, then obtain the authorization code from your current registrar. Submit that code with your transfer request to host.yt. Processing may take several days. The transfer itself does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.
