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.
$37.10/yr
Currently renews at $37.10/year. Minimum 1-year registration: $37.10 before tax.
Privacy free
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
