Just some info re: Bill Ladas' suggestion (below): In New Zealand under the .co.nz domain, you have to delegate the domain name AND have 2 servers up and running before making application for domain name, or the application is automatically rejected. You do not, however, have to have a business presence in NZ (as is the case in AU). See policy info at www.isocnz.org.nz.
