.NU indicates “Niue”, a tiny South Pacific island nearby Tonga. Dot-nu is the domestic internet ending of this land but it has embellish rattling favourite in Sverige because “.nu” effectuation “now” in swedish.
A internet bourgeois Bill Semich, from Colony got .Nu authorise in the New 90’s and started exploring it. He intellection .nu would be a cheaper deciding to pricey at this instance dot-com domains. The american mart has not took in the intent of dot-nu domains, ease beatific programme came from Sverige where most 110,000 domains has been oversubscribed from Mr. Semich’s consort titled “NU Domain Ltd.”.
