.nu domain information

.nu is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) officially assigned to the Pacific island of Niue, but in practice it is one of Scandinavia's most popular domain extensions. The reason: "nu" means "now" in Swedish, Danish and Dutch. Sweden is by far the largest market — the extension became popular there in the late 1990s when .se registrations were tightly restricted, and Swedish demand has remained dominant ever since.

By registering .nu domains, you accept the .nu terms and conditions .

Registration is open to anyone worldwide with no restrictions, and your domain activates in realtime.

Why should I register a .nu domain name?

The appeal of .nu is almost entirely driven by the word, not the geography.

For Scandinavian and Benelux brands: "nu" is a natural, everyday word that reads as an extension of your name rather than a technical suffix. A Swedish, Danish or Dutch business can use it as a direct statement — book.nu, shop.nu, live.nu — without any translation needed.

For global brands: .nu works anywhere "now" is the message. Media brands, real-time services, product launches, flash-sale sites, event landing pages and live-streaming platforms all benefit from an address that signals immediacy and urgency.

For creative domain hacks: the two-letter combination opens up a wide range of short, memorable names that would be taken or expensive under .com.

Concrete use cases:

Swedish, Danish and Dutch businesses establishing or reinforcing a local digital presence
Media and news platforms where currency and timeliness are part of the brand
E-commerce stores with a "shop now" or urgency-driven proposition
Product launches and campaign microsites
Live events, concerts, streaming channels and real-time tools
Any global brand where "now" is core to its identity
