Registering a .co.nz Domain with Fantastic NZ Hosting
A .co.nz domain is the gold standard for New Zealand businesses. It tells your customers you're a legitimate Kiwi business and helps with local search engine rankings.
How to Register
- Log into your client area at https://fantasticnzhosting.co.nz/whmcs/clientarea.php
- Click on Domains > Register a New Domain.
- Enter your desired domain name (e.g., mybusiness.co.nz) and click Check Availability.
- If the domain is available, it will show the price. Click Add to Cart.
- Choose your registration period (1 year minimum for .co.nz).
- If you have hosting with us, the nameservers will be pre-filled. Otherwise, enter your nameservers or choose our default ones:
- ns1.fantasticnzhosting.co.nz
- ns2.fantasticnzhosting.co.nz
- Complete the checkout and payment.
