.co.nr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CO.NR Free domain service started out in 2001. Under the direction of Republic of Nauru’s .NR ccTLD Registry, it began to offer free domains (free subdomains of co.nr domain) to the internet community. CO.NR is not a ccTLD registry for .NR domain names. It is an administrator and operator of the CO.NR zone (domain name).This service is still being offered free of charge.

[edit] History

Up until Sep 15, 2003, CO.NR offered an ad-free domain service. However, they now request that small 88 x 31 linkback ads are placed on the main (first) page of user’s site, even though they still continue to claim their services are ad free.[1] Premium domain service (domains with full DNS control) was cancelled in 2005 due to some problems. During mid 2006, CO.NR offered instant account activation when registering domains. The link back policy is still in place, and users of CO.NR domains must make sure they link back properly using the code provided. CO.NR suspends all accounts that fail to do so. Currently, CO.NR offers basic support to those who register a domain with them. When registering a domain, CO.NR manually reviews all registrations to check that it complies with their Terms of Service.

Although CO.NR discontinued its offers of premium domains, they offer an alternative at Nic.Biz.Ly[2]. It is related to CO.NR's premium domain name service, which is still under beta-testing. For .Biz.Ly domains that include webhosting users can signup at www.Biz.Ly[3]
