WHAT IS A .COM.NR DOMAIN

.com.nr Domain: Nauru's Commercial Domain Namespace

.com.nr is the shared commercial namespace beneath .nr, the country code extension of Nauru, and registration happens at the third level. The parent zone entered the root on 30 March 1998; it is run by CenpacNet Incorporated, the island's internet service provider, and com.nr is technically a separately delegated zone of its own. The registration agreement is shared with .nr and is dated 10 December 2004, while disputes follow ICANN's UDRP. The oldest .com.nr records visible today go back to 2003, so the space has been in use for more than twenty years.

On eligibility .com.nr asks for no capacity at all: no declaration of commercial activity, no company number and no trademark certificate, and there is no requirement to be established in Nauru. The only sub-zones the registry treats as restricted are edu.nr and gov.nr. Two kinds of registration sit side by side here: the country's own institutions and the defensive holdings of global brands. .nr, registered directly at the second level, is the shorter and more playful space; the levels work independently, so you can hold the same name at both.

Two points are worth settling before you order. The registry asks for two different people as contacts for every name, one administrative and one technical, and the same person cannot hold both roles; you also supply the name servers yourself, because the registry hosts no DNS. Holder name and address are published unmasked, so business contact data is the safer choice. If you want your name closed off in this market, reserve the same word under .nr as well and check availability on the domain name search page.

The two levels do not lock each other: Holding a .com.nr name does not stop the same word being assigned to somebody else directly under .nr. The rules treat the two levels as independent, and measurement bears this out: many brand names are registered separately at both levels. If brand protection matters to you, you have to take both. The registry's one published content prohibition applies identically at every level and covers pornographic content; beyond that, no publishing limit has been declared.

.com.nr Domain Lifecycle

Active registration term 1 - 2 years You choose it at registration

What happens day by day after it expires

Day 0 is the domain's expiry date

In short: for .com.nr the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.nr, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.

Domain Is Available (Available)

Open-ended

A .com.nr address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.

Domain Is Active (Active Period)

1 - 2 years

Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.

Domain Is Available Again

Open-ended

Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.nr Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • No. The registry lists this space among its unrestricted sub-zones: no declaration of commercial activity, no company registration number, no trademark certificate and no establishment in Nauru. The country list in the registration form covers the whole world, and the holders visible today include organisations based in the United States, Switzerland and Nauru side by side. Private individuals may register as well; the only personal condition in the agreement is that you are of legal age to enter into it. The restriction applies solely to edu.nr and gov.nr, reserved for educational and government entities in Nauru.

  • The registry publishes no minimum length; none of its public texts defines a lower character bound. Measurement shows two-character names actually registered: a two-letter industrial brand has held its .com.nr name for more than twenty years and still uses it under a valid certificate today. Three-letter names are considerably more common. If a short name is refused at checkout, the cause is our own length setting rather than a registry rule, and you are welcome to write to us from the contact page.

  • You do not choose the term at registration; the registry's form has no period or year field at all. The agreement says a registration ends at the close of the year in which it was made and is renewable in perpetuity thereafter. Real records do not follow that: expiries fall on anniversary dates, and fresh registrations have been measured with single terms of three and four years. So there is no two-year ceiling on the .com.nr side. The term you see at checkout is the term we apply; note your renewal date in your own calendar too.

  • Both sit with the same registry under the same registration agreement; the difference is the level and the habit of use. .com.nr is at the third level and behaves like a classic corporate namespace: the country's own institutions and the defensive registrations of global brands are concentrated there. .nr is registered directly at the second level, is shorter and lends itself to domain hacks. Because the rules treat the levels as independent, the holder of a .com.nr name cannot stop the same word going to someone else under .nr.

  • Yes, and in full. The registration agreement expressly grants the registry the right to publish the following in a publicly accessible database: your name and postal address, the names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers of the administrative and technical contacts, the name servers, and the creation and expiry dates. Every .com.nr record examined showed those fields unmasked, and no privacy service is offered for purchase. A business address is therefore the sensible choice. You can see how your record looks on the whois search page.

  • Two, and they must be different people. The registry asks for one administrative and one technical contact record per domain name, and its help text states that for redundancy these persons cannot be the same. Each contact gets its own handle and password; every later change to the name is made with that handle and password, so losing the password means losing control of the name. You must also enter at least two working name servers before the name goes live, and the registry does not host them for you.

  • There is no change of registrar here as you know it from generic extensions, because this zone has neither an accredited registrar system nor an authorisation code; registry and registrar are the same organisation. What can change is ownership: the agreement states that you may transfer your registration to a third party of your choice and that the procedure follows the conditions the registry publishes. The transfer works as a record update driven by the name's handle and password. While a dispute is on file you may not alter the record without approval. Start on the domain transfer page.

  • No. Measurement shows no DS record for the com.nr zone, and the parent zone .nr is unsigned as well, so the chain is never established from the root downwards. Not one page of the registry mentions DNSSEC, DS records or key submission, and the registration form offers no field in which a key could be entered. The practical consequence is that you cannot sign your .com.nr name with DNSSEC. Security has to come from your name server side and from a strong contact password.
