The initials SIDN stand for Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland - the Foundation for Internet Domain Registration in the Netherlands. The organization has been responsible for issuing and registering '.nl' domain names since 1996.
To resell domains via SIDN, you must become a SIDN Participant. All the relevant information is available at the SIDN website. You can apply for participation via the e-mail and receive all the necessary documents.
Important: DNS Configuration Necessary for Registering Domains With SIDN in .nl TLD
In order to ensure the correct zone files configuration for .nl domains being registered at SIDN, and to avoid possible errors in DNS data files outlined in RFC1537,we strongly recommend you to create a special DNS template that will ensure that the correct Resource Records will present in domain zone files.
After you create a DNS template, you can attach it to the Domain Registration Hosting Plan that will provide registration of domains particularly in the .nl TLD.
Example of the records in the DNS template for .nl domains:
@ |
A |
|
%ip% |
ftp |
CNAME |
|
%domain%. |
www |
CNAME |
|
%domain% |
A |
|
%ip% |
|
@ |
MX |
10 |
mail.%domain% |
@ |
MX |
20 |
mail server |
Note: In the last MX record, please replace mail server with the actual mail server name.
