.lu registration
.lu is Luxembourg’s country-code domain extension, suited to businesses, organizations, services, and personal projects with a connection to Luxembourg. Registration is open, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis without a special registration procedure. A .lu label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized characters used in several European languages, including ä, ö, ü, à, â, æ, ç, è, é, ê, ë, î, ï, ô, ù, û, and œ. This gives brands and individuals more flexibility when representing names accurately. Transferring a .lu domain requires approval from its administrative contact. The registry emails that contact with a link to a secure confirmation page, so the address recorded for the domain must be current. Approval within 15 days completes the transfer immediately; refusal or no response during that period cancels it. After completion, the expiration date is extended by one year from the transfer date. A quarantined .lu domain remains inaccessible for 40 days. It can be restored by the registrar that placed it in quarantine, or transferred to another registrar, which transfers and reactivates the domain in one operation. Changing the holder requires email authentication by both the current and future holders within five days, after which a new one-year subscription period begins.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .lu extension stand for?
lu is the country-code domain extension for Luxembourg. It signals a clear association with the country and is commonly relevant to Luxembourg-based companies, public-facing services, organizations, local initiatives, and individuals who want a recognizable national identity online.
Who can register a .lu domain?
lu registration is open without a special eligibility procedure. Individuals, businesses, and organizations may register an available name. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an eligible name can be secured by the first applicant to complete registration.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .lu?
No special registration documents are required by the stated registry procedure. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized characters include ä, ö, ü, several accented French letters, æ, and œ.
Is .lu a good choice, and what projects is it suited to?
lu is a practical choice for projects focused on Luxembourg, including local businesses, professional services, community organizations, cultural initiatives, and personal sites. Its geographic meaning helps visitors recognize a Luxembourg connection before they open the website.
When does .lu make more sense than .com?
lu makes more sense when Luxembourg is central to the project, audience, or brand identity because it provides an immediate geographic signal. .com is better suited to a broadly international, non-country-specific presence, but it communicates less clearly that a service is intended for Luxembourg.
How quickly is a .lu domain registered, and how long does it last?
An available .lu name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis without a separate registry approval procedure. It remains active for the registration term attached to the order and can be renewed. A completed registrar transfer extends its expiration date by one year from completion.
How do I transfer a .lu domain to host.yt?
Start the transfer with host.yt and ensure the domain’s administrative contact email is valid. The registry sends that contact a secure approval link. Approval within 15 days completes the transfer immediately; rejection or no reply cancels it. Completion extends the domain’s expiration date by one year.
