Domain Restrictions
There are no restrictions for .ni
.ni
The registry for .NI (also AC.NI, .COM.NI, .NET.NI, .ORG.NI) is currently adapting its guidelines to the current legal situation in Nicaragua. From now on, websites with gambling or adult content are prohibited. Other websites must also comply with the country's legal standards.
To ensure this, before allocating or renewing a domain the owner, the domain name and, if applicable, the content of the website are manually checked by the registry and only then approved. This does take some time and we are not sure, what criteria apply.
Due to this, we are currently unable to accept orders for the registration of new domains until verification criteria and duration have been clearly defined.
For renewals, we will bring forward the renewal date to 2 months before expiry. This period should give the registry sufficient time to check the domain.
If a domain is not renewed, we will inform the corresponding reseller as soon as we receive such information.

Fulfillment Info
FTLD .ni is a Fulfillment TLD. Fullfilment TLDs (FTLDs) are registered through a manual registration process. The manual registration process might involve documents, depending on respective registry regulations, and are therefore not automated for real-time registrations and real-time updates. Updates might cause additional costs!
As .ni domains cannot be deleted explicitly. To delete a .ni domain you have to set the domain renewal mode or default renewal mode to AUTODELETE or AUTOEXPIRE.
