## Who runs the .at registry, and from which country?

IANA lists nic.at GmbH, Jakob-Haringer-Strasse 8, Salzburg, as manager of .at. The technical contact is nic.at GmbH care of the Vienna University Computer Center, Universitaetsstrasse 7, Vienna. WHOIS answers on whois.nic.at; IANA lists no RDAP service. The registry website is nic.at, and IANA updated the record on 14 May 2025. GmbH marks an Austrian limited company. .at follows nic.at's terms and Austrian law, with no ICANN contract.

## Can a court in Austria take down or seize a .at domain?

Austrian courts have direct authority over nic.at in Salzburg. Austria is an EU member state, so judgments from other member states can be recognised there under EU rules. We could not confirm nic.at's published procedure for court orders or disputes, so we do not describe it. A court order outside the EU would need Austrian recognition to bind the registry.

## What does PanamaRegistrar do with a complaint about a .at domain?

Nothing happens to a .at domain on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court; a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama by exequatur. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC. You are told before any action on your domain, unless the law or the court order forbids it; with Domain protection, every complaint is also read by a person before any action on the domain. This rule covers what PanamaRegistrar does, not the registry or our registrar partner. Steps and time limits: [takedown procedure](https://panamaregistrar.com/takedown-procedure/) and [how we handle complaints](https://panamaregistrar.com/complaints/).

## Who uses .at domains, and why?

Austrian market sites use .at, according to the dataset. Austrian firms and services that sell in Austria choose it. Terms run from 1 to 10 years. German-speaking businesses often hold .at next to .de and .ch, which puts their names under three different national registries and three legal systems.

## Which registry rules are specific to .at?

On .at, records of individual holders show only domain and technical data, according to the dataset. The registry is a company in Salzburg, while its technical contact sits at a university computer centre in Vienna. PanamaRegistrar sells .at with Domain protection only, because the registry needs a holder name and a postal address.

## What does the WHOIS show for a .at domain?

Records of individuals on .at show only domain and technical data, per the dataset. With Domain protection, the holder of record is our company, so the registry never receives your email.

## Why is .at sold with Domain protection only?

.at is one of the 12 extensions sold with [Domain protection](https://panamaregistrar.com/domain-protection/) only. Its registry needs a holder name and a postal address, and we collect one verified email, so the domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC. The price, $44.99, is $15.99 for the extension plus $29 for Domain protection. You stay the beneficial owner: full control, a free EPP code, and the domain put back in your own name on request, free. A UDRP complaint names the registrant of record, our company; we tell you, and you can answer it.

## Which dispute policy applies to .at?

.at is not on WIPO's list of country codes with a dispute service. We could not confirm nic.at's dispute procedure; details are on nic.at. Austrian courts are open to a claimant. Our steps for trademark cases: [UDRP and URS](https://panamaregistrar.com/udrp-and-urs/).

## How much does a .at domain cost, and how is it renewed?

At PanamaRegistrar, as of October 2026, .at costs $44.99/year; renewal is $44.99/year, and a transfer $44.99. Whether a transfer adds a year depends on the registry of the extension, and the checkout shows it before you pay. Term: 1 to 10 years. Payment is in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a prepaid balance, minimum top-up $25. Every extension: [price list](https://panamaregistrar.com/pricing/).
