I am looking for a domain name registrant. Where can I look it up?
The Whois is an easy-to-use tool for checking the availability of a .nl domain name. If the domain name is already taken, you can see who has registered it.
On the page looking up a domain name you will find more information about what a domain name is, how the Whois works and how the privacy of personal data is protected. Alternatively, you can go straight to look for a domain name via the Whois.
I would like to transfer my domain name to another registrar. What is the procedure?
To get your domain name transferred, you need the token (unique ID number) for your domain name. Your existing registrar has the token and is obliged to give it to you within five days, if you ask for it. The procedure for changing your registrar is described on the page transferring your domain name.
The details registered about me/my company are incorrect or out of date. How can I get them updated?
To update the contact details associated with your domain name, you need to contact your registrar. Read more about updating contact details.
Why is my domain name in quarantine?
When a domain name is cancelled, we aren't told the reason, so we can't tell you. You'll need to ask your registrar. The advantage of quarantine is that, if a name's cancelled by mistake, you can always get it back.
One common reason is that the contract between you and your registrar says you've got to renew the registration every year. If you haven't set up automatic renewal and you don't renew manually, the registration will expire.
Ik heb een klacht over mijn provider/registrar. Kan ik daarvoor bij SIDN terecht?
Wanneer je een klacht hebt over of een geschil met je registrar dan zijn er verschillende mogelijkheden om tot een oplossing te komen. Hierover lees je meer op pagina klacht over registrar. SIDN heeft geen formele klachtenprocedure voor het behandelen van een klacht over jouw registrar.
What conditions do I have to meet as a registrar?
Would you like to be able to register domain names for customers or for your own organisation by dealing directly with SIDN? If so, you can become a .nl registrar. Read more about the conditions and how to apply for registrar status on the page becoming a registrar.

NL Digitaal: fifty key features of the digital world explained in a book
Thursday 17 November 2016
Although young people use smartphones and social media all the time, they don't usually care too much about how those things work, or how they influence society. Yet information and communication technology plays a vital role in every modern business and study programme. So it's good to know at least something about ICT, if only to improve your job prospects.
NL Digitaal: About big data, cybercrime and virtual reality
NL Digitaal aims to tell young people about the importance of ICT, but in an entertaining way. We have brought to life fifty key features of the digital world, from broadband to electronic payments and from info stress to internet telephony. Written in a light, jargon-free style, the explanations are relevant to young readers' day-to-day experiences.
Fascinating facts!
NL Digitaal is packed with fascinating facts and figures. For example:
That 75 per cent of young people start the day by checking WhatsApp, while 75 per cent of older people start by checking their e-mail
How encryption, blockchains, page rankings, TOR and bit torrents work
That the internet has a Hall of Fame with a number of Dutch people in it
How to secure your PC and smartphone (and why lots of people don't bother)
That one in six girls aged between fifteen and eighteen gets bullied on line, and what you can do to stop it
How you can use maths to find true love on line
That the first chess computer was really a dwarf in a costume
How you can order more washing powder by pressing a button next to your washing machine
How a Dutch man tricked the whole world with a video that showed him flying like a bird with home-made wings
