How can I find out who has the .NU domain name that I want?
You can search the .NU registry's WHOIS at http://www.worldnames.net/whois/whois.cfm to
determine if the domain is registered. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the
.NU Domain Ltd Whois service does not provide names and contact information.
If WDBC, a Dotster dotReseller, is the registrar of record you can also search
the
WDBC Whois database.

What is the .NU WHOIS?
WHOIS is a search tool that is used to look up records in the .NU domain
name space. Each record within the WHOIS database has a "handle" (a unique
record identifier assigned to it), a name, and DNS information. WHOIS provides
a means
to search for domain names using these specific fields. You can search the
.NU registry's whois database at http://www.worldnames.net/whois/whois.cfm.
Our domain search tool will tell you if a domain is available to register but
will not provide you with information about existing domain owners.

You can review the dispute resolution policy which all .NU certified registrars
and retail channel partners must abide by at http://www.nunames.nu/udrp.htm.
