A .nz name is registered directly under .nz, so it is shorter. A .co.nz name includes the .co label. Both are part of the .nz namespace.

New Zealand
What is .nz?
.nz is the country-code domain for New Zealand.
.nz names can be registered directly under .nz, so the address is shorter: yourname.nz rather than yourname.co.nz.
The .nz domain space is managed by InternetNZ, and .nz domain names are regulated by the Domain Name Commission.
Who is .nz for?
- Businesses and organisations with customers in New Zealand
- Holders of a .co.nz name who want the matching .nz
Eligibility
Under the .nz Rules, you can register a .nz domain name, including a .co.nz name, if you are an identifiable individual over the age of 18 or a lawfully constituted organisation.
There is no general requirement to live in New Zealand or to have a New Zealand business, so eligible individuals and organisations in Australia and elsewhere can register.
The details you give when you register must be accurate and kept up to date, and you must keep meeting these requirements while you hold the name. The Domain Name Commission, which regulates .nz domain names, may ask you to verify your identity, for example with a passport, driver licence or certificate of incorporation.
Registration information on this page is general guidance only. Check the current .nz rules before you register.
