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.
