Other news you should know

.nz countdown

If you’re eligible to register or reserve the shorter version of your .nz name, you’ve only got until 1pm 30 March 2015 to do so. After that, it will become available for general registration (first come, first serve). Make sure you don’t miss out. Should you register the shorter .nz domain name? We think you should. We’re pretty sure it will become the main domain name extension in time for New Zealand. And yup, we’ve switched to https://goodwebsites.nz.
