What is a .nl domain?
The .nl domain is the country code extension of the Netherlands, run by SIDN (Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland), a non-profit foundation based in Arnhem. Introduced in 1986, .nl was one of the first country code extensions in the world, and today it is one of the largest national extensions in Europe relative to population.
Dutch users trust .nl strongly, and many Dutch companies choose it over .com. Registration is open to registrants in any country. SIDN is known for its focus on security: the extension has one of the highest DNSSEC adoption rates in the world.
