A .com.np domain is a Nepal country-code second-level domain intended for commercial websites and businesses connected with Nepal. It can help visitors immediately understand that a website serves the Nepali market.
Why choose .com.np?
- It signals a Nepal-focused business or service
- It can support trust for local customers
- It gives a brand a locally relevant web address
- It works alongside a global domain such as .com
Who can register one?
Eligibility and document requirements are managed by the official .np registry. Applicants commonly need identity or business documentation and a domain name that relates to the applicant or organization. Requirements can change, so check the current registry instructions before submitting an application.
How the registration process generally works
Choose an available name, check that it follows registry rules, prepare the required documents, submit the application through the official registry process, and wait for approval. After approval, connect the domain to your hosting provider and configure DNS records for the website and email.
.com.np versus .com
Choose .com.np when Nepal is central to your audience, brand, or operations. Choose .com when you need a globally neutral identity. Many businesses register both: one as the primary address and the other as a redirect or defensive brand asset.
Common mistakes
Do not register a domain under someone else's account, let the domain expire, or keep DNS and hosting access with an agency you cannot contact. Keep ownership email, renewal access, DNS control, and website backups documented.
Before launch, configure HTTPS, a professional email address, redirects, Search Console, analytics, and a clear contact page. A domain is the address; the website experience and reliability are what turn visits into enquiries.
