Register a .at domain from abroad: enter your details correctly

An Austrian web address, your actual address in the form

You can plan a project for Austria while living elsewhere. According to nic.at, .at domains are generally open to individuals and organisations; individuals must be of full legal age and able to enter a contract. Start by searching for a name and deciding who should actually hold it. Do not borrow an Austrian address just to make the order appear to match the extension. If you live abroad, enter your correct address there. Ask our support team about a specific concern before paying rather than submitting details you know are inaccurate.

Choose interface language, address country and extension separately

Our German and English interfaces change the language of the instructions, not your personal circumstances. An English-language order might concern a .at domain with a German address. Equally, someone living in Spain might prefer the German interface. Choose the country of your actual address in the country field. Your eventual website can offer one or several languages independently. The extension alone promises neither Austrian customers nor strong search positions. Useful content, a clear offer and a working website remain separate parts of building your project.

Identify the holder and enter their complete name

Decide whether you or an organisation should hold the domain before filling in the form. A project name does not automatically identify the person or company behind it. Use complete details rather than initials alone. Company details should include the valid legal form. International names can have several parts or a different order, as the W3C guide explains. Do not arbitrarily cut parts off. Umlauts are not supported in .at holder data; use the required transliteration. If the form cannot represent your legal name, contact us instead of entering a different identity.

Keep the postal code and locality in their own fields

Copy the street, building number, postal code and locality from your actual postal address. The postcode belongs in its own field and the locality goes separately. International postal codes may contain letters or spaces, so an address in London does not follow the Austrian pattern. Do not use an Austrian sample postcode for a foreign address. The selected country and the entire address need to agree. Before payment, read the summary as one complete postal address. If you spot an error after paying, contact us with the order reference rather than placing a second order for the same domain.

• Country: select your actual address country, not the market your website targets.
• Postal code: enter the valid postcode for your own address.
• Locality: check the corresponding town or city in its separate field.

Use a reachable telephone number and email address

Your telephone number follows your actual telephone connection, not the .at extension. A Spanish number starts internationally with +34; an Austrian number starts with +43. Your telephone can belong to a different country from your address; in that case, enter its correct international country code explicitly. Use your own reachable number and do not invent extra digits to bypass a validation message. Check your email address character by character. An inbox you can already access is more useful for ordering than a mailbox under your new domain that has not been set up yet.

Review the total price and paid coverage first

A standard new .at domain currently costs €12.99 total for the first year at atdomain.at. Each additional year currently costs €15.99 total. Alternatively, the new three-year package costs €39.00 total in one payment: we register the domain and carry out two included annual renewals without another payment. You save €5.97 compared with €44.97 through annual payments at today’s prices. The technical expiry updates annually; “Prepaid until” shows your paid package coverage. Afterwards, renewal uses the price offered at that time; there is no automatic card charge. Hosting and mailboxes are not included.

Review the order, pay and follow registration progress

Check the domain spelling, including hyphens and extension, your details and the selected coverage. An availability result does not permanently reserve the name, and a basket is not a registration. Follow your bank’s instructions if payment requires an additional confirmation. Afterwards, check the order status and your account. If payment is complete but registration is still pending, do not initiate a second payment. Note the order reference and use our support ticket form. That lets us investigate the same transaction without asking you to send sensitive card information.

Keep track of confirmations after purchase

Confirming your account email and responding to a possible request about domain holder details are separate tasks. After purchase, check your account and inbox, including spam. If a confirmation is requested, read the specific notice and complete it within the stated deadline. Payment does not replace that check. For an unexpected message, open atdomain.at using its known address and ask through your account. Do not send passwords, full card details or unsolicited identity-document copies in a ticket. An order reference and a short description of the issue help us identify the matter more safely.

Connect the new domain to your existing service

Once registration succeeds, the domain appears in your account. DNS management with our default nameservers is included, and you can also use custom nameservers. A website or branded email needs a suitable service arranged separately. Collect that service’s exact DNS instructions before changing records. Afterwards, test the complete website address and, where relevant, sending and receiving email. Your final check is simple: correct holder, accurate address, reachable contacts, completed registration and any requested confirmations resolved. You then have more than an available name: you have a domain whose ownership and management you can trace.
