Learn about the guidelines and features of .nl domains.

You can register, transfer, or connect domains ending in .nl to Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in the Netherlands.

The .nl country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .nl domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or your domains dashboard.

Troubleshooting

Error message: Registration unsuccessful. We couldn't register this domain name.

The Netherlands uses alphanumeric postcodes with four digits followed by two uppercase letters, like 1234 AB. If we can't complete your domain registration, the space between the numbers and letters of your domain’s postal code might be causing registration issues.

Review the formatting of your postal code in your domain’s contact information settings and remove any spaces between the numbers and letters. Your postal code should be in this format: 1234AB. After saving the changes, try registering the domain again. If the problem persists, contact us.
