.at is the country-specific top-level domain (ccTLD) for Austria and is used to represent Austrian websites and Internet identities. “.at” is derived from the Latin word “Austria”, meaning Austria. On the Internet, many Austrian individuals, businesses and organizations use the “.at” domain name to present their online presence and identity. It is an important part of Austria’s domestic web development and online activity.
First, .at domain name registration rules
1. The rule for at domain name registration is that the minimum number of registered characters should not be less than 1, and the maximum number should not exceed 63. The at domain name only provides English letters, numbers, and “-” (the hyphen in English, that is, the horizontal line) and other characters for registration. Spaces and special characters (such as !, $, &, ?, etc.) cannot be used, among which ” -” cannot be used as the beginning and end.
2. The at domain name has no restrictions on the qualifications of the registrants, and basically any company or individual in any country can register. This provides convenient conditions for the development of the registration market for at domain names.
3. The registration period of an at domain name ranges from 1 year to 10 years, and the grace period for renewal and redemption of an at domain name is both 30 days.
Second, the necessity of .at domain name registration
The .at domain name is a relatively small domain name suffix. If we have foreign trade business in Austria, we can use it for registration. If we are only doing public website business, there is no need to register.
Some service providers seem to be cheap for new registration of .at domain names, but the renewal fee is still relatively expensive. Therefore, it is only suitable for those who really need local business in Austria, or European business, not for global business.
