Important information regarding .nz domains!

As Domaininfo has informed earlier. There’s an important date coming up for thousands of people who hold .nz domain names. Those eligible to get the shorter .nz version of their name before anybody else only have until 1pm, 30 March 2015 to do so. Most of those with existing .nz names – for example .co.nz, .org.nz, .net.nz, etc. – are able to register or reserve their name direct at .nz before anybody else. They have what is called ‘Preferential Registration or Reservation (PRR)’.

Importantly, however, if a person with PRR hasn’t acted on their registration or reservation options by 1pm, 30 March 2015, the shorter name will become available for first-come first-served registration. Others with a ‘conflicted’ .nz name are not affected by this deadline, but the Domain Name Commission Limited (DNCL) is encouraging these people to also be aware of their status and options as soon as possible.

Over 50,000 shorter .nz names have so far been registered or reserved. However, there are tens of thousands of people entitled to get the shorter version of their name first who are yet to take action. Some people may find that the shorter .nz version of their name is ‘conflicted’. A conflicted name is one that’s been registered in at least two ‘second levels’. For example, one person may hold the .co.nz version, while another may hold the .org.nz version.
