Domains ending in .nl are specifically designed for businesses and professionals with a presence in the Netherlands. Here are the key features and requirements for .nl domains:

Key Features:

• No domain locking available
• No five-day grace period or refunds after registration
• Compatible with Squarespace's free domain offer
• Can be registered, transferred, or connected to Squarespace

Expiration Policy:

• Tucows registrar: 45-day redemption period to contact Tucows for renewal
• Key-Systems registrar: ~25 days to renew after expiration
• Domain must be renewed before it disappears from account dashboard

Important Registration Requirements:

• Netherlands postal code format: four digits followed by two uppercase letters
• Must remove spaces between numbers and letters (Example: 1234AB not 1234 AB)
• Double-check domain spelling before registration (no refund period)

Common Issues: If registration fails, verify that:

1. Postal code follows correct format without spaces
2. All contact information is accurate
3. Domain meets Netherlands registration requirements

For failed registrations or expired domains that need reactivation, contact support for assistance.

Note: These guidelines apply only to .nl domains registered or transferred through Squarespace. Connected domains from third-party providers follow different rules.
