About the .BRUSSELS domain

What is the .BRUSSELS domain?

The .brussels is the geographic generic top-level domain (geoTLD) for the Belgian capital, delegated to the root zone on June 5, 2014, and managed by DNS Belgium (DNS.be vzw), the same organization that manages the .be and .vlaanderen extensions.

Unlike other European city geoTLDs such as .hamburg or .berlin, .brussels imposes no residency or local-connection requirement: anyone or any organization in the world can register an available .brussels domain through any of DNS Belgium's accredited registrars. The only real requirement is anti-abuse in nature: the registry verifies all registrants' details before activating the domain, contacting the applicant to confirm their identity and prevent anonymous registrations or false data intended for malicious uses such as phishing or spam.
