About the .NR domain
What is the .NR domain?
The registration terms and conditions specify no nationality restrictions: the applicant only needs to be of legal age and declare, to the best of their knowledge, that the registration and intended use of the domain do not infringe third-party legal rights. The most notable feature of this extension is its pricing structure: registering directly under .nr costs $500, a substantially higher figure than the $50 it costs to register under any of the available second-level subdomains — .net.nr, .org.nr, .com.nr, .biz.nr, or .info.nr. The .gov.nr and .edu.nr extensions are reserved exclusively for corresponding institutions within Nauru. Regulations expressly prohibit pornographic content at any level of the domain.
There are no nationality restrictions: the applicant only needs to be of legal age and not infringe third-party rights. However, direct registration under .nr costs $500, compared to just $50 for second-level subdomains such as .com.nr or .net.nr. The .gov.nr and .edu.nr extensions are reserved for corresponding institutions in Nauru. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
