The domain co.nr was registered on March 30 1998 and soon after in 2001 the .co.nr free domain service started. Under the direction of the Republic of Nauru's .nr ccTLD they began to offer free domains (which are actually subdomains of .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 domain name zone.

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 website. The link back policy is still in place, and users of CO.NR domains are requested make sure they link back properly using the code provided. CO.NR suspends all accounts that fail to do this until a link back has been placed.

Premium domain service (domains with full DNS control) was postponed in 2005 due to some problems and abuse.

During mid 2006, .CO.NR started to offer instant account activation when registering domains.

Current .co.nr


Currently, CO.NR offers support to those who register a domain with them. When registering a domain, .co.nr check that all sites comply with their Terms of Service. To check that users link back they have a script which runs at random times and suspends domains without a valid linkback. .co.nr has many services to offer. such as favicon, URL cloaking, URL path forwarding, meta tag support, and many other services. When premium services are out of beta-testing, many more services like e-mail forwarding and full control over your domain name will be released. Also, .co.nr provides other domains such as .com, .org, .net, and .us.

Downtime


From April 7 2007 until April 9 2007, members of the co.nr service were not able to access any sites using the .co.nr subdomain. This made many users think that the .co.nr service had closed down. This was however due to a DNS problem on the .nr side which was successfully fixed. All sites are now confirmed by tech support as back online. [62]

.CO.NR Support


Due to a large amount of support requests, .co.nr created support forums which are located at www.forums.co.nr. On these support forums you can get help for many things including complaints, problem solving and complimenting the .co.nr service. There are 3 admins, 4 moderators and 5 members of a team known as the ".CO.NR Forums Team" who help around the board and do general tasks. In addition, there is also a form on the main site for directly contacting tech support.

www.biz.ly



Although .co.nr indefinitely suspended premium domains, they offer an alternative service at Nic.Biz.Ly[63]. This is related to the .co.nr premium domain service (which is still under beta-testing). .Biz.Ly also provide a service with webhosting at www.Biz.Ly[64]
