.AT Domain Requirements & Criteria Austria FAQ - Who or what is a valid domain holder?
- Either an organization or a natural person must be specified as the domain holder. Organizations that are incorporated enterprises (e.g. general partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, etc.) have to be specified completely in the organization field including the legal form (if available). If a person is specified additionally in the name field, this person merely acts as a contact and not as the domain holder. In case of organizations that are not incorporated enterprises, a natural person must be specified additionally in the name field, who is the actual holder of the domain. e.g.: org.: Boarding House Customer name.: John Customer, means that Mr. John customer is the domain holder unless the boarding house Customer is an incorporated enterprise. Domain holders that are natural persons must be completely specified in the name field with a full first and last name.

- .AT domains can basically be registered by anyone, no matter whether it is a person, organization or an association. Private persons must be of age and capable of contracting. An organization must be specified with its full and valid legal form.
- Why is it necessary that name servers are correctly configured before the registration?
- 101Domain requires that only technically operational domains are registered, in order to avoid overloading the internet with untraceable domains. This does not mean that you have to use the domain immediately. The date of the actual launch is decided by you.
- What are the technical reasons for the rejection of a domain application?
- There are various reasons why an application may be rejected: errors in the application itself (incomplete field descriptions, missing mandatory fields, invalid version etc.), invalid domain names, wrong entry formats, invalid characters. The most frequent source of error is an incorrect name server configuration.
- What are natural or legal persons?
- A natural person (human being) becomes contractually capable as soon as he reaches the age of consent. A legal person is an entity which bears rights and liabilities and is represented by executive bodies i.e. natural persons. Examples: limited liability companies, corporations, registered associations, foundations, regional authorities, etc.
Whenever a data modification is requested, nic.at verifies whether a person authorized by the organization has agreed to this modification. Domains can only be registered by persons who are of age and contractually capable.
