Niue ccTLD, unrestricted registration
Register a .nu domain
"Nu" means "now" in Swedish, Danish, and Dutch — which is how Niue's ccTLD became one of Sweden's most-registered endings. Officially .nu is Niue's country code, but decades of open, no-strings registration turned it into a mainstream Swedish domain — trailing only .se and .com in registrations there — simply because "nu" is the everyday word for "now." Nobody needs any connection to Niue to register one.

Who picks .nu?
- Businesses courting Swedish, Danish, or Dutch customers who already trust .nu as a local ending
- Domain hackers building a short URL around "now" or a word ending in -nu
- Launch-style or streaming brands that want the ending itself to promise immediacy
What it signals
In Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands, .nu reads as "available now" — a native-feeling, trusted ending, not a novelty. Everywhere else it functions as a short domain hack for words ending in -nu.
Pros
- No citizenship, residency, or local-presence requirement anywhere
- Decades of mainstream use in Sweden, not treated as a gimmick TLD there
- Two letters that carry real meaning in three languages, good for tight URLs
- Renewal price locked at registration, so the novelty wearing off doesn't come with a price hike
- WHOIS masking and done-for-you SPF/DKIM/DMARC included as standard
Watch-outs
- Outside Scandinavia and the Netherlands, most people won't connect .nu to Niue at all
- It won't move the needle for actual Niue-market credibility — Google treats it as generic Nordic, not geographic
- A long-running control dispute between Niue and its Swedish-based registry operator is worth knowing about, even though it hasn't stopped anyone from registering or renewing

Common questions about .nu domains
How much does a .nu domain cost?
A .nu domain is $37.10 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $37.10 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .nu domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .nu stays $37.10/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .nu domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .nu domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .nu domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
