Hostnet
.nl registrar in Netherlands, read from its own storefront on 2026-09-28
Accredited by SIDNAlso accredited by 3 other registries
Can a member of the public buy a .nl here?
Not established. .nl was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-09-28. That is a fact about the page we read, not a finding that the registrar does not sell it.
Why it is not ranked
The page states its VAT basis but prints no .nl figure; the price appears only after a domain search.
Namespaces on its own page
No namespace list could be read from the page.
What its page printed
Dutch-language page stating prices are 'exclusief 21% btw'; no euro figure for .nl on the page read.
Read from https://www.hostnet.nl/domeinnaam-registreren/ on 2026-09-28. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.
How the Netherlands storefronts were read
Nine Dutch retail brands from SIDN's accredited list plus the two tracked registrars with a Dutch storefront were opened in a real browser on 2026-09-28. Two brands (Vimexx, Combell) returned 404 on the page tried and were not read; Gandi's Dutch address redirects to its English storefront. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 756 registrars on SIDN's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 561 were read, 195 could not be, and 19 more print a comparable .nl price.
