# maori dot nz myths

In recent months I have heard many myths and incorrect information about .maori.nz . I hope these facts below will assist anyone interested in a .maori.nz domain.

All .nz publicly available domain names retail for the same price and if your domain name partner pricing differs you could perhaps seek other quotes.

You do not need to apply for approval for .maori.nz. It is a public domain such as .co.nz and the other .nz domains.

.maori.nz is available with and with out a macron on the a by default. There is no need to make a second purchase.

If you desire a macron in the customised part of the name, i.e the name you choose, this is a separate registration.

You can have multiple domain names such as .iwi.nz , .co.nz and .maori.nz all arriving at the same web site.

Any .nz reseller should be able to resell a .maori.nz though some choose not to offer it from their sites as a possible personal objection to the domain or for financial reasons.

Any .nz address can be registered using a macron.
