What is a .at domain?
.at is the official top-level domain (TLD) for Austria. It is similar to .co.uk, .no, and other domains that are reserved for specific countries, a so-called country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Companies and organisations that are based in Austria, or that want to expand there, can register a website with the Austrian top-level domain .at to become visible in the Austrian market.
Under the top-level domain .at, there are also a few associated subdomains. Subdomains can be used as a complement to a website with the top-level domain .at – for example, for landing pages or other pages linked to your main website.
The two subdomains of .at are .or.at and .co.at. Both the top-level domain .at and its subdomains are managed by NIC.at – the Internet Foundation in Austria.
Reach customers in Austria with a .at top-level domain
Are you starting a business in Austria, or if you are running a business in Sweden and planning to expand to Austria, an Austrian top-level domain is step one on your journey to success. In today's digital society, a .at top-level domain is an absolute prerequisite for establishing yourself in the Austrian market and competing in the prevailing competition.
An Austrian domain makes you visible to potential customers and partners in Austria. The local affiliation gives a professional impression and is trustworthy, and last but not least, it is of course advantageous from an SEO perspective. With a .at domain, you rank better for an Austrian audience and your business becomes easier to find.
Who can register an Austrian .at domain?
There are no restrictions on who can register an Austrian domain. Both companies, public entities, and individuals can do so as long as all conditions and technical requirements are met. You also do not need to be located in Austria to purchase a .at domain. Registration can be done from anywhere in the world.
Requirements and conditions for registering a top-level domain in Austria
Just like for other country domains, there are certain requirements and technical conditions that must be met for your domain registration in Austria to be approved:
- The domain name must contain 1-63 characters
- At least two different name servers at delegation
- You must provide a valid street address at the time of registration – a P.O. box cannot be used.
The technical limitations are relatively few compared to some other country domains, but it is still important that the registration is correct and that the basic conditions set by NIC.at are followed. If you have never registered a TLD in Austria before, or have limited experience with domain registration in general, it is wise to seek help from a professional domain registrar. Like us at Abion.
Here's how Abion can help you
As an official NIC.AT registrar, we at Abion can offer smooth, secure, and cost-effective domain registration in Austria completely without intermediaries. The NIC.AT accreditation means that we can carry out your domain registration as the sole provider, without the need for other parties. The registration is faster, costs less, and is significantly more secure because each intermediary otherwise poses a risk.
Before you register a .at top-level domain, we help you create a domain strategy tailored to your business and the target audience you want to reach. We check that the domain name you want is available, that it is not similar to any other existing .at domain names, and then handle all the administration for the purchase.
In addition to assistance with domain registration, you will also find a complete range of services for domain management and domain protection in our service portfolio. We offer seamless domain management in our customer portal Abion Core, where you can gather all your active domains for complete control and a good overview. Of course, you can also transfer existing domains here – and automatic domain renewal is always included.
For effective domain protection, we offer automatic domain monitoring that tracks and alerts if someone tries to hijack or intrude on your domain. We also monitor if someone tries to register a .at domain name that is similar to yours and could easily be confused.
