The Country Code Extension for Austria

With over 1.4 million registered domains, .at is one of the most successful country code extensions in Europe. It's managed by nic.at, the Austrian registry based in Salzburg.

For businesses operating in Austria or targeting Austrian customers, .at is the obvious choice. Users expect a .at address when looking for a local provider. Hotels, restaurants, and local service providers benefit from the regional association.

Since September 2018, people outside Austria can also register .at domains. Austrian residency is no longer required.

Typical Use Case

A Viennese café wants to be found online. Under wiener-kaffeehaus.at, the offering appears more trustworthy than under a .com address. Customers know: Here I get Austrian quality, local service, personal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about .at registration

How much does a .at domain cost?
A .at domain costs €15.86 per year. This price applies to both new registrations and transfers. There is no additional setup fee.
Do I need Austrian residency?
No. Since September 2018, there is no residency requirement. Any natural or legal person worldwide can register .at domains.
How quickly is my domain active?
Registration with nic.at takes only seconds. Once the domain is confirmed, you can set up DNS records and use it immediately.
Can I use umlauts in the domain?
Yes, .at supports ä, ö, ü via IDN domains. However, also secure the variant without umlauts, as many users will type that. Umlauts can cause compatibility issues with email addresses.
How do I transfer an existing .at domain?
Request an auth code from your current provider and enter it during the order process. The transfer takes just a few hours and costs the regular annual price of €15.86.
Do I need .at if I already have .de?
That depends on your target audience. If you actively target Austrian customers or have a location in Austria, a .at domain makes sense. With .de, .at, and .ch you cover the entire DACH region.
