What are the first associations you make when hearing the name of this TLD? I bet that the first thing you think of is the popular English preposition 'AT'. Namely the universal syntax of the .AT domain, the official country-code top-level domain for Austria, has given the .AT registry a good reason to remove any special restrictions and release it for wide open registration.
Why register an .AT domain?
This way, the .AT domains can be freely used by anyone for creating catchy domain names that represent popular 'at' idioms such as 'arrive.at', 'good.at', 'targeted.at', etc. In addition, since many English words end in -at, using an .AT domain extension you can get a memorable 1-word domain, such as autom.at, form.at, that is otherwise taken with the popular generic TLDs.
.AT second-level domains
The .AT domain also supports various second-level domains such as .CO.AT, intended for companies, and .OR.AT, targeted at organizations, with no restriction on the type of business or activity exerted by the registrants. Also, there are second-level .AT domains reserved especially for governmental institutions - .GV.AT, and .AC.AT - for academic and educational institutions.
.AT domain registration requirements
Registering .AT domains is possible for any person, company or non-profit organization worldwide. The only requirements set by the .AT registry are that individuals must be of age and that organizations must specify their names with their valid legal spelling. You are free to register as many .AT domain names as you need to.
.AT management options
You can register your unique .AT domain name anytime now for 1 year and enjoy a feature-rich .AT Domain Manager with many control options such as .AT Domain Parking and setting Custom DNS Records like MX & A Records, NS Records, AAAA Records, SRV Records, TXT Records, etc.
