Secure your address today with a powerful .nu domain
A .nu domain is the perfect choice if you want a short, impactful, and modern domain name. Since it’s one of the most popular options in the Nordic region, it’s ideal for creating clever word combinations or for securing your brand alongside your .fi or .com domain. Search for an available name or start a secure transfer to us in just a few minutes.
It all starts with a domain name
Through our online shop, you can easily search for the domain name you wish to register to see if it is available. The price is displayed as soon as availability has been checked, and if the domain is available, you can register it straight away in just a few minutes. If you already own a domain name that you wish to transfer to us, the process is the same: enter the domain name in the search box and select the option to transfer it. You’ll need a transfer code (also known as an auth code or EPP code) from your current provider in order to complete the transfer.
When it’s time to renew your domain name, you’ll receive a reminder by email well in advance. Please note that you’ll also need one of our hosting packages to be able to use the domain name for a WordPress or WooCommerce website. If, instead, you wish to use an external service such as Wix or Squarespace, you can purchase our add-on services: DNS hosting or email hosting. This will give you access to our control panel, but with more limited access compared to a standard hosting package.
What exactly is a domain name?
It’s easy to get lost among all the technical terms. To explain how everything fits together, think of your online business as a regular physical house:
Hosting is like a plot of land: It’s the physical space on our servers in Finland where your website and email are hosted. Without a plot of land (hosting), your house has nowhere to stand.
A domain name is like your street address: It’s the name (for example, yourcompany.fi) that people type into their browser to find their way to you. It’s the address that leads visitors to your property.
Your website is the house itself: it’s the walls, the furniture, the paintings, and the different rooms that visitors encounter when they step through the door. It’s simply everything that makes your business unique and welcoming online.
That’s why you always need both an address (domain name) and a server (hosting) for your website and email to work.
Do you need help moving your website and email?
Are you hesitating to switch providers because it seems difficult or time-consuming? You can rest assured. With annual payment (and always included in the Commerce package), we’ll migrate your current website, your databases and all your associated email accounts to our high-speed servers in Finland. The whole process takes place securely in the background without your website being down for a single second, so your customers can visit your site as normal throughout.
Transfer your domain to us
Do you already own a domain name with another provider but want to consolidate your hosting, email, and domain management in one place? It’s easy to transfer your domain to us:
1. Request a transfer code
Log in to your current domain provider and request your transfer code (also known as an auth code, EPP code, or domain key).
2. Place your order
Enter your domain name in our online store, select the option to transfer the domain, and paste your unique code at checkout.
3. Seamless Transition
The transfer begins automatically in the background as soon as the code is approved. We’ll make sure your associated services are transferred securely and without interruption.
Tips for Registering a .nu Domain Name
Choosing a .nu domain gives you a modern and dynamic online address. Here are five strategic tips and guidelines that are good to know before you complete your order:
Check Trademark Rights: Before registering a .nu domain, you should verify that the name does not conflict with a protected trademark or business name. Since the domain is currently administered by the same reliable registry as the Swedish .se domain, there are clear dispute resolution procedures in place. If you register a name in obvious bad faith, it can be appealed and revoked.
Open to everyone worldwide: There are absolutely no geographic restrictions on who can own a .nu domain. Both individuals and businesses in Finland—or anywhere in the world—can freely register any .nu domain name they choose. You don’t need a local address or a foreign business registration number; just enter your usual information at checkout.
Perfect for clever puns and campaigns: The word “nu” means ‘now’ has the same meaning throughout the Nordic region (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway), which makes this domain unique. It’s perfect for creating short, impactful URLs that encourage action. For example, boka.nu, handla.nu, or ansök.nu. It’s an excellent complement to specific marketing campaigns.
Keep your future email in mind: Although it’s perfectly fine to register a .nu domain with å, ä, or ö for your website, you should be cautious if the address is to be used for email (such as ). International email systems still have difficulty handling Nordic characters, so a domain without special characters is always the safest choice for your correspondence.
No Right of Withdrawal Upon Registration: Just like with all other domains, the registration of a .nu domain takes place automatically and immediately in the central registry as soon as your payment is approved. The purchase cannot be canceled or changed afterward, and the fee is non-refundable. Therefore, please double-check the spelling in the search box one more time before completing your order.
