Registrations are available at both the second level or at the third level beneath various names that include some apparently redundant choices (e.g., both .co.na and .com.na for commercial entities). Domain registration costs Domain registration prices to the end-user are now set by registrars in competition with each other. Wholesale prices (the cost to the registrars) depend on the level at which a registration is made (i.e. whether at second-level or a third-level registration) and also whether the registrant is domestic or foreign. The second-level is considered 'premium', so the cheapest domains would be a registration by a local organisation at third-level (such as the NamNumbers telephone directory at TELECOM.COM.NA)http://telecom.com.na/ https://web.archive.org/web/20140703185708/http://telecom.com.na/ 2014-07-03 dead NamNumbers 2016-07-23 whilst the highest prices are paid by non-Namibian entities registering at the second-level (such as BRITISHCOUNCIL.NA).http://www.britishcouncil.na British Council | Namibia britishcouncil.na 2016-07-23 NA-NiC is a member of the Council of Country Code Administrators and uses their Dispute Resolution.
