G'day.

I'm thinking of registering a domain using one of the NZ specific TLDs, and wondered what is a good NZ domain name registrar with access to those TLDs. Plus, I wouldn't mind supporting a NZ business in these challenging times.

I suppose in order of priority I'm after:

Low price.
Security (2FA highly desired).
A decent site with good domain config tools.
A well-established business that won't be going anywhere soon.

And I don't care about additional extras like email or web hosting. All I want is to register a domain and point the records where I desire.

TIA for your advice :-)

Domains are often a low margin low cost service so getting all those may not be likely. Not aware of any NZ ones that do 2FA.

Metaname does 2FA.
I use Authy for it.
I only use them for hosting domains and use a free Cloudflare account for DNS zone records.

Metaname seems to be a popular choice. Pretty basic, but then again that's all I need.

Depends what you mean by basic..  Metname's interface is imho godawful , but their functionality is better than most.

Metaname even supports DNSSEC - and when I implemented mine years ago and needed a specific algorithm they had it implemented in minutes. 

 

The interface is simple but it's a powerful platform.
