All postings here are my own opinion. YMMV. May shrink in hot water. Do not expose to UV. May contain traces of nuts. With added riboflavin!


 

List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.

Glad I am not an Ocker...
The Aussie DNS 'space' has be quiet of late, not so the other week, when about every other post to a DNS policy list was 'apologise or I will sue!' type post. Amusing if you not involved, kinda of like a 3 year old having a tantrum in a store... noisy and meaningless and eventually they stop after a lot of embarrassment all round.

Opps, the point of this post, oh yeah, AUDA announced that .com.au and .net.au have reached 350,000 name combined and thus resulting in a 10% drop in wholesale prices (from $50 to $45 AUD). Not bad eh, .nz has 140,000 odd names and charges $24 NZ... oh hang on... NZ is less than half the size and is less than half the price. Maybe I will compare AUDA/.au costs to DNC/.nz costs. Throw in Nominet/.uk for kicks are well.

Correction: I have just been reminded that the AusRegistry $50 fee is for 2 years not one year as I have stated. However, still makes .nz cheaper with less names...

IDG on 2LD WG paper
IDG has a story on the release of the 2LD WG discussion document. It is time to retire Paul, I can't see any obvious mistakes in the story! :-)
