Domain Registration

.at, .co.at, .or.at

nic.at offers you .at, .co.at and .or.at as an ending for your domain name. If you want to register a different top level domain (.com, .info. etc.) please contact the corresponding registry or your ISP. The registration of .at-domains is free for private persons and organisations worldwide, and nic.at does not limit the number of domains per holder.

First make the nameserver entries for the domain

.at-domains must be technically operative even at the time of the actual registration. This is accomplished by entering the domain name in at least two nameservers. The technical functionality (as well as the formal correctness of the data) is checked on each application. In case of errors, you will receive a detailed error message via e-mail. The nameservers are usually provided by internet service providers. In most cases, these ISPs also make the domain registration for you. ISPs who closely cooperate with nic.at can be found in our registrar list.

Pre-completion for online applications

If you send domain applications via web-form, you can use the data of existing domains. Just enter the domain name whose data you want to use. This saves your time and helps us to store identical data.

Duration of the registration process

A domain registration is usually completed within a few minutes. As long as the application is technically correct, you can use your domain even on the same day. If the application contains errors, the applicant will be informed via e-mail.

Certificate for the domain holder

nic.at offers every domain holder the possibility to download the current whois-data in the form of the domain certificate. Naturally, this services if for free.
