.NRW is a top-level domain (TLD) that represents the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The official introduction took place on March 24, 2015.[1] and is currently managed by dotNRW GmbH. This TLD offers a unique online presence for the state and its residents. Although anyone can register for the domain, it is primarily intended for businesses and organizations based in North Rhine-Westphalia.[2]
About
The .NRW domain is becoming increasingly popular, and it is now commonly used for marketing campaigns, events, and other initiatives. The dotNRW GmbH manages the domain and provides a range of services and support to its users. The company has been instrumental in promoting the use of the .NRW TLD and in ensuring that it remains a secure and reliable online platform. It has been free for citizens and companies to use since March 2015.[3]
One of the strengths of the .NRW domain is the strong community of registrants that support it. This community is made up of businesses, organizations, and individuals who work together to promote the state's culture, economy, and identity. The .NRW domain has become an important part of the state's online presence, and it is expected to continue to grow in popularity in the years to come.
Usage
The government website open.nrw was the first website to use the new extension.[2] Around 19,500 .nrw domains have been registered as of 2020.[4]
