About the .KIWI domain

What is the .KIWI domain?

The .kiwi is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Dot Kiwi Ltd. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. 'Kiwi' has two meanings: the informal demonym for New Zealanders (a Kiwi is a person from New Zealand) and the nutritious tropical fruit known worldwide. New Zealand is known for its quality of life, pristine nature, Māori culture and its position as one of the world's most progressive countries. Registration price is $37.99/year and renewal $38.99/year. No restrictions.
