🚨 PHISHING ALERT 🚨 If you've received an email with the subject "Final Notice: Domain Expiry Alert" and a button to "Renew Domain Now", DO NOT click. Report as spam. The link opens a fake login page designed to steal your password. This is why compulsory 2FA is coming: sitehost.nz/blog/compuls...

🚨 PHISHING ALERT 🚨 SiteHost customers are the target of a 2nd phishing attack in 2 weeks. Email subject: "Renewal of your domain name failed !" It's a scam. It links to a fake (but convincing) login page. sitehost.nz/phishing-ema...

Last year we stopped adding monitoring to new unmanaged Cloud Container servers, and now we're removing it from older unmanaged Cloud Containers. This is in line with other servers, where monitoring is a part of server management. More info, including your options: sitehost.nz/blog/cloud-c...

Less good: Renewal rates. Around 85% of .nz domains are being renewed before they expire these days. That number used to be closer to, or even higher than, 90%. If this percentage increases even a little bit, future growth will be easier to sustain. (3/4)

A graph showing the percentage of expiring .nz domains that are renewed each month. It's quite steady at 90% for years until mid-2022, then it drops for about a year and a half, nearing 80% at the end of 2023. Today it is in the mid-80s and quite flat.

Year-on-year growth is usually pretty volatile, and 2023 was especially grim. But the namespace has turned a corner and added 1.0% y-o-y the last two months. If domain names are a sign of confidence (new businesses appearing online, for example), then this is a good sign. (2/4)

Year-on-year growth in the number of registered .nz domains. Peaks well above 2% in early 2023, turns negative for most of 2023-4, then stays positive since last (southern) summer.

In 2025, the total number of registered .nz domain names has grown every month. Sounds boring, but it hasn't happened like this for years. If this keeps going until October, we'll have a new all-time high. Short thread... 🧵 (1/4)

Graph of total .nz domain names. 2025 shows consistent month-on-month growth. 2024 was very uneven and 2023 saw a big drop from the all-time high of 758,000 to around 745,000. The current total is close to reaching the highest ever.
