Why Use an r.nz Domain Name Search?
Our domain name search makes it simple to go from an idea to a live branded r.nz redirect in three easy steps.
A domain name search helps you quickly discover whether the short r.nz name you want is still available. Instead of registering another long website address, you can choose a memorable r.nz subdomain and redirect it to the website or page you already use. The r.nz domain name search is especially useful for businesses, marketers, creators, real estate agents and campaign managers who want a shorter address for advertising, QR codes, social media, signage and printed material. Once you find an available name, you can create your account, connect your destination URL and start sharing your new r.nz address. If the destination changes later, you can update where the r.nz name points without changing the public address you have already shared.
Not sure which route fits you? Our guide on why you need a subdomain breaks down when a full domain makes sense,
and when a short r.nz name is the smarter, faster move.
What Makes a Great r.nz Name?
Before completing your domain name search, think about how the name will look, sound and feel when customers see it. A strong r.nz name should be easy to remember after someone sees or hears it once.
Short names work especially well for advertising, social media, business cards, QR codes, email signatures and printed material. Choose something closely connected to your business, brand, service or campaign. Avoid unnecessary numbers, complicated spelling or words that are difficult to explain.
Your r.nz name can remain the same even when the destination behind it changes, so choosing a flexible name gives you an address you can continue using across future campaigns and projects.

Search for Your r.nz Name Before It Is Taken

Try searching your business name, brand name, service, location or campaign phrase. If your first choice is unavailable, test a shorter variation or another relevant word.
Because each r.nz name can only be used by one account at a time, checking availability early gives you a better chance of securing the short name that best represents your brand.
What is a domain name search?
A domain name search checks whether the web address or name you want is available to use. With r.nz, you can search for a short branded subdomain and immediately see whether it is available.

Enter the name you want into the domain name search box and select Check. r.nz will confirm whether the name is available so you can continue with registration and set your redirect destination.

Yes. You can perform multiple domain name searches to compare different business names, keywords, campaign names or branding ideas before choosing the r.nz name you want.
What should I search for when choosing an r.nz name?
Start your domain name search with your brand name, business name, service or a short word connected with your campaign. The best names are short, easy to spell and easy to remember.
