About the .ALSACE domain
What is the .ALSACE domain?
The applicant must prove a genuine connection to Alsace in order to register a domain: residing in the region, carrying out a professional, personal, commercial, or cultural activity there, or justifying any other direct or indirect tie of an economic, social, cultural, or historical nature to the territory. Individuals, companies, and organizations able to demonstrate this kind of tie are therefore eligible, including businesses operating in Alsace, residents of the region, and organizations dedicated to promoting Alsatian culture. The registry retains the authority to ask the domain holder to demonstrate this tie at any time, not only during the initial application process but also after registration. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters, and registration periods during general availability range from 1 to 10 years.
The applicant must prove a genuine connection to Alsace: residing in the region, carrying out a professional, personal, commercial, or cultural activity there, or justifying any other direct or indirect tie — economic, social, cultural, or historical — to the territory. Registration remains open to anyone able to demonstrate this tie, both at the time of application and afterward, and the managing entity reserves the right to request this proof at any time.
