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.

FAQ

Is Hostnet accredited to sell .nl?
Yes. Hostnet is on the accredited-registrar list SIDN publishes, read on 2026-09-20. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .nl to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.
What does Hostnet charge for a .nl domain?
Not established. .nl was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-09-28: The page states its VAT basis but prints no .nl figure; the price appears only after a domain search.
Has this site tested Hostnet?
No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on Hostnet, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .nl ranking on the Netherlands page orders registrars by one printed price only.
