Hi Craig I’m not entirely sure if this is the root of the problem, but just in case ... Microsoft are in the process of moving over[1] to using the Mozilla Public Suffix List[2] which correctly specifies which domains are allowed in .nz and which are not. In the meantime they use their own private suffix list which isn’t maintained by registries and so is often incorrect. I’ve reached out to a DNS contact in MS to see if he can help either switch this to the proper list or if I can get the private list fixed. cheers Jay [1] https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-070-en.pdf [2] https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat

I tried contacting Microsoft Regarding .kiwi.nz domain a number of times but I have had no response from them and the problem has not been resolved. (This is over multiple years and multiple complaints) (Its only been 4 years)
The Problem is.... I own www.kiwi.nz. This shouldn’t actually cause any problems except with bing webmaster tools. (Most other people including Google get it right within a few days/weeks) . Yes at the start I expected a problem but seeing all the bing stats for the thousands of other .kiwi.nz domains isn’t interesting for me.
I expect people who own other domains like www.maori.nz and www.geek.nz etc would have the same issue as well maybe but you never know.
