Special .AT Promotion
.AT, the official country-code Top-Level-Domain of Austria, continues to be in high demand. As of July 29, 2015 the .AT zone had over 1.25 million registered domains. This is an impressive number considering that Austria does not have a huge population base. There is a strong appetite for .AT domains registered with German owners. The .AT suffix is also becoming more popular among the Swiss as well.
Why Register an .AT domain?
- If you run a business that operates in Austria or sells into Austria, an .AT is a must.
- Idioms: There is an increasing use of .AT domains to capitalize on catchy domain names that represent certain English expressions / idioms that feature ‘at’ at the end or include ‘at’ in the expression. For example, Form.at, Bureaucr.at ‘good.at’, ‘targeted.at’, etc. In fact, we came across the following US-based company that operates a free online website builder for restaurants called letseat.at
