Once the domain is registered

All Norfolk Island domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Norfolk Island domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Norfolk Island domain name registrar.

Background

.nf is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Norfolk Island

.nf was introducted in 1996. To register domains in this TLD, one does require a local presence on Norfolk Island and one can do so with any of the extensions mentioned below:

• .com.nf

• .net.nf

• .per.nf

• .rec.nf

• .web.nf

• .arts.nf

• .firm.nf

• .info.nf

• .other.nf

• .store.nf

• .a.nf

These second-level domains are available for third-level domains, with no restriction on who can register them. While .com.nf and .net.nf parrallel the TLDs .com and .net, some of them are based on proposed new TLDs from the late 1990s that were never implemented.

The top-level domain .nf for Norfolk Island is operated by the Norfolk Island Internet Registry and sponsored by the Norfolk Island Data Services.

The Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) sets out the actions prohibited to users of the Norfolk Island Data Services Network ("NIDS Network"), meaning anybody who has registered under the ccTLD .nf domain registry. AUP also governs qualifications for registrations. Any use of a .nf domain name that contravenes the regulations placed forward by the AUP may result in the suspension of the registrant's right to use the .nf domain.

The NIDS Network has the right to modify or update AUP at any time; these changes are posted at NID's website: http://www.nic.nf

A user using an .nf domain to sell goods or services over the Internet must provide clear links with sufficient and accurate details, as to allow the consumer to contact the seller of such goods and service; and so that customers are fully aware on any territorial limitations on the offer and on the goods and service. If a .nf domain registrant is found to not have followed said laws, NIDS will furnish the contact details for the registrant in accordance with the NIDS Privacy Policy.
