.nu domain extension

.nu is the country code top-level domain for Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific. It is managed by The IUSN Foundation, based in Alofi, Niue. The domain is open for registration by anyone worldwide, with no specific eligibility restrictions tied to Niuean residency. Its popularity has grown because "nu" means "now" in several Scandinavian languages, making it attractive for Swedish and Danish users. The technical operations are handled by The Internet Infrastructure Foundation in Sweden. The domain was registered on June 20, 1997.
