Registering .nl Domain Names
Anyone can register a .nl domain name on a first-come, first-served basis.
The .nl country-code top-level domain name (ccTLD) is an extension that represents the Netherlands. For companies that conduct business in the Netherlands and individuals who want to reach the growing number of Internet users there, .nl domain names are a good investment. Registering a .nl domain name gives you regional recognition and an easy-to-manage Web presence.
Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of three characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except at the beginning, end or third or fourth characters of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #.
