domain transfer, .nz domain extension not supported

    Hi there,
    apparently you don’t support .nz domain names! Does wordpress.com plan to offer this in the future and if so when? I know that I can map my .nz domain to another domain but to my mind this adds unnecessary cost and complexity.
    Cheers

    Hi Pete,

    We do plan to add support for .nz in future, but it’s not being worked on yet, so I cannot give you any indication when that might happen.

    In order to support transfers we must first be an accredited registrar for the specific domain extension, and for country-specific TLDs like .nz, that accreditation process can be very long and complicated, and in some cases even impossible if the domain provider does not have a physical presence in the country in question.

    Some country-specific TLDs also follow non-standard processes compared to regular TLDs like .com, which means adding support for them from a technical perspective can also be a long and complicated process. So this might take a while :)
