.nr is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nauru. Contrary to what many think, .nr domains are not free as redirection addresses. A domain .co.nr has been registered which is simply a site giving away subdomains of it as redirections and also for trusted users with DNS. Real .nr domains must be paid, and can be ordered from CenpacNet, Nauru's Internet service provider.
