.CAT

.CAT domains are ideal for organizations and individuals located in Catalonia. These are aimed at the Catalan linguistic and cultural community on the Internet and those who want to reach it, and anyone can register a .CAT domain, wherever they live or whatever they do provided that they have significant content in Catalan on the website.

For more information on registering your .CAT domain, including requirements, please see below.
