About the .AT domain

What is the .AT domain?

.at is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Austria, registered with IANA on January 20, 1988, and managed by nic.at GmbH, based in Salzburg. It is one of the most technically stable European extensions: nic.at guarantees that every .at domain is accessible and registered only once worldwide, uninterrupted since 1998.

Despite being a ccTLD, it imposes no residency or citizenship requirement: anyone, any company, or any organization in the world can register a .at domain instantly, strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. The only technical requirement is having between two and eight valid nameservers and a contact email address. nic.at also manages the .co.at and .or.at subdomains, under the same open policy. This combination of total openness and the immediate association with Austria — a country with a strong reputation for quality, engineering, and institutional stability — makes it an attractive extension beyond its borders.
