Anyone interested?

In a sub ccTld which only tells all is going very good but is afraid to tell number of registration? Please do not believe that useless crap.

No, we didn't. The gates were closed until 90 minutes ago

@Eurodns NL

I registered some domains .co.nl but in domain settings says:
Domains under this top level domain cannot be updated.

And the nameservers: Nameservers not editable

What is the problem?

Thanks

[EuroDNS NL]

Domains under .co.nl can't be updated uptil 60 days after Go Live (see Welcome-CO.NL - Your International Dutch Domain as well)

As per June 15th, all names can be updated (contact details, nameservers etc) free of charge,

For next requests: pls contact me at sscholten@eurodns.com

In my opinion presenting the number of registered domains under .co.nl is crucial and not revealing this information doesn't help this project at all.

I agree. They should be transparent with this information.

Also, Sedo not allowing co.nl in parking

That will become possible in the near future

And how about with number of registered domains - will it also become possible in the near future..?

And don't forget us

Not sure if we have the lowest price on co.nl, but we're probably not far of it

I am a beginner on this level, but why does .co.nl make sense?

Aren't we going towards www.domain.nl.TLD ?

Where does co stand for?

Hi JP Blankert,

Sorry, I mispelled the title!!!!!

Originally I wrote

"Re: The domains .co.nl is coming"

but I meant

Re: The domains .com.nl is coming

see com.nl com.nl fits in the ccTLD method

.co.nl is old news, and subdomaining, not important.

Not few people or companies yet registered on com.nl

What role will it play, and what should old ikweethetniet.nl 's go when ikweethetniet.com.nl was already registered and used by someone else?

Dear JP Blankert,

COM.NL has exactly the same technical status as CO.NL: it is a SUB domain...

The only difference is that co.nl is organised in a more professional way (IMHO) with a large distribution network and hence more accepted.

CO.NL started up about 13 months ago, COM.NL about 3 months ago.

DomainNews.nl never posted about COM.NL, ICANN has nothing to do with it as it is a sub domain (just as co.nl) and Names Beyond does not sell com.nl names....

This being said, i do think that a sub domain like co.nl (or com.nl for that matter) has a value. Especially since NL is going towards 3.7 Mln registrations. But in every way keep in mind that these are both sub domains!

Another subdomain on an very competative market, makes me wonder how many domains can a country have? Already the Netherlands have the highest number of domains per capita in the world (not counting the .tk/.cc/.nu domains, since these are marketed as gtlds).

Too bad you're not willing to share some data about the number of co.nl registrations
