40 years anniversary promotion

To mark the 40th anniversary of .nl, we’ve launched a fun campaign to put .nl in the spotlight.

Every day, you see .nl domain names everywhere: on billboards, buildings, lorries, vans or on the sports field. To mark 40 years of .nl online, we’re calling on everyone who spots a .nl domain name to take a photo of it and share it on social media. You can do this via LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon or X. Use #spotpuntNL and tag SIDN. You’ll then be in with a chance of winning one of 40 .nl prize packages!
