A domain name is your brand or name on the Internet. It is typically used
for email addresses and as a website address (technically referred to as a URL)
if required. It can also be useful for other internet services.
Technically, a domain name is just an entry in a database that shows that a particular
company, organisation or person holds the unique rights to a domain name for a period
of time. Inspire Net is a domain name registrar and can assist its customers in having
the rights to a .nz domain name or a gTLD or International (typically a .com,
.org or .net) domain name.
Inspire Net charges NZ$45 per year for a domain name to be registered to you. This
also includes DNS services from Inspire Net as required – DNS services are required for a domain name to
be functional. You can make as many changes to your domain name’s DNS entries as you like
by emailing domains@inspire.net.nz.
Each unique mailbox associated with a domain name costs $3 per month. Typically each person that
uses that domain name for email will have their own mailbox. However, each mailbox can have many
email addresses associated with it.
Inspire Net can offer
webhosting
services to work alongside your domain name.
We recommend involving your IT team/company, if you have one, before proceeding with this form. However if you
have any questions at all, please
get in touch.
